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. + +:History: + + ========== ===================================================== + Date Description + ========== ===================================================== + 22.03.2016 Project creation + 19.04.2016 Initial version of the deliverable uploaded to Gerrit + 22.07.2016 First version ready for sharing with the community + 22.09.2016 Version accompanying the OPNFV Colorado release + ========== ===================================================== + +.. raw:: latex + + \newpage + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 4 + :numbered: + + introduction.rst + use_cases.rst + retired_use_cases.rst + summary.rst + glossary.rst + references.rst |
