networking on-demand in order to accelerate time-to-market and achieve business
agility for innovations in NFV networking business.
+* Neutron networks are implicitly, because of their reliance on subnets, L2
+ domains. L2 network overlays are the only way to implement Neutron networks
+ because of their semantics. However, L2 networks are inefficient ways to
+ implement cloud networking, and while this is not necessarily a problem for
+ enterprise use cases with moderate traffic it can add expense to the
+ infrastructure of NFV cases where networking is heavily used and efficient use
+ of capacity is key.

* In NFV environment it should be possible to execute network administrator tasks
without OpenStack administrator rights.
