+:Abstract: OPNFV provides an infrastructure with different SDN controller
+           options to realize NFV functionality on the platform it builds. As
+           OPNFV uses OpenStack as a VIM, we need to analyze the capabilities
+           this component offers us. The networking functionality is provided
+           by a component called Neutron, which provides a pluggable
+           architecture and specific APIs for integrating different networking
+           backends, for instance SDN controllers. As NFV wasn't taken into
+           consideration at the time when Neutron was designed we are already
+           facing several bottlenecks and architectural shortcomings while
+           implementing NFV use cases.
+
+           The NetReady project aims at evolving OpenStack networking
+           step-by-step to find the most efficient way to fulfill the
+           requirements of the identified NFV use cases, taking into account the
+           NFV mindset and the capabilities of SDN controllers.
