2// extensions available for the OpenStack Neutron service.

4// The purpose of Networking API v2.0 extensions is to:
5//
6// - Introduce new features in the API without requiring a version change.
7// - Introduce vendor-specific niche functionality.
8// - Act as a proving ground for experimental functionalities that might be
9// included in a future version of the API.
10//
11// Extensions usually have tags that prevent conflicts with other extensions
12// that define attributes or resources with the same names, and with core
13// resources and attributes. Because an extension might not be supported by all
14// plug-ins, its availability varies with deployments and the specific plug-in.
