NetReady: Network Readiness
***************************
:Project: NetReady, https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/netready/NetReady

others
: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.
