Description Jaison Raju 2019-03-01 13:16:28 UTC
Description of problem:
ipv6 vxlan tenant based Instance cannot ping Instance from another tenant over a neutron router.
2 tenant subnets were created with ipv6 addressing mode as 'dhcpv6-stateful' & have a port on a ha router.

Each instance was able to ping the IP of other tenant subnet's port which is on router. & the vice-versa is true.
Although instance could not ping other tenant subnet's gateway or the other guest.

We noticed that ipv6 forwarding was disabled in the qrouter namespace.
  sudo ip netns exec qrouter-3345aeb1-c4a9-4e43-b2d6-e41929d1ff6f sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding
After enabling this, ping works well.
  sudo ip netns exec qrouter-3345aeb1-c4a9-4e43-b2d6-e41929d1ff6f sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
