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. -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
