Neutron Network Service
=======================

Neutron is an OpenStack project to provide "networking as a service" between
interface devices (e.g., vNICs) managed by other Openstack services (e.g.,
nova).

Starting in the Folsom release, Neutron is a core and supported part of the
OpenStack platform (for Essex, we were an "incubated" project, which means use
is suggested only for those who really know what they're doing with Neutron). 

Sample pillars
==============

Neutron Server on the controller node

.. code-block:: yaml

    neutron:
      server:
        enabled: true
        version: mitaka
        bind:
          address: 172.20.0.1
          port: 9696
        database:
          engine: mysql
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 3306
          name: neutron
          user: neutron

Neutron VXLAN tenant networks with Network Nodes (with DVR for East-West
 and Network node for North-South)
=========================================================================
===================================

This use case describes a model utilising VxLAN overlay with DVR. The DVR
 routers will only be utilized for traffic that is router within the cloud
  infrastructure and that remains encapsulated. External traffic will be 
  routed to via the network nodes. 

The intention is that each tenant will require at least two (2) vrouters 
one to be utilised

Documentation and Bugs
============================

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Salt, consult the documentation available
online at:

    https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackSalt

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to
the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party
operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for
reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker,
available at:

    http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-salt

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Salt project should always base
their work on the latest formulas code, available from the master GIT
repository at:

    https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/salt-formula-neutron

Developers should also join the discussion on the IRC list, at:

    https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/openstack-salt
