+
+: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.
