+Networking
+----------
+
+**Network Hardware**
+
+ * 24 or 48 Port TOR Switch
+ * NICs - Combination of 1GE and 10GE based on network topology options (per server can be on-board
+ or use PCI-e)
+ * Connectivity for each data/control network is through a separate NIC. This
+ simplifies Switch Management however requires more NICs on the server and also more switch ports
+ * BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) for lights-out mangement network using IPMI (Intelligent
+ Platform Management Interface)
+
+**Network Options**
+
+ * Option I: 4x1G Control, 2x10G Data, 48 Port Switch
+
+ * 1 x 1G for lights-out Management
+ * 1 x 1G for Admin/PXE boot
+ * 1 x 1G for control-plane connectivity
+ * 1 x 1G for storage
+ * 2 x 10G for data network (redundancy, NIC bonding, High bandwidth testing)
+
+ * Option II: 1x1G Control, 2x 10G Data, 24 Port Switch
+
+ * Connectivity to networks is through VLANs on the Control NIC
+ * Data NIC used for VNF traffic and storage traffic segmented through VLANs
+
+ * Option III: 2x1G Control, 2x10G Data, 2x10G Storage, 24 Port Switch
+
+ * Data NIC used for VNF traffic
+ * Storage NIC used for control plane and Storage segmented through VLANs (separate host traffic
+ from VNF)
+ * 1 x 1G for lights-out mangement
+ * 1 x 1G for Admin/PXE boot
+ * 2 x 10G for control-plane connectivity/storage
+ * 2 x 10G for data network
+
+Documented configuration to include:
+
+ - Subnet, VLANs (may be constrained by existing lab setups or rules)
+ - IPs
+ - Types of NW - lights-out, public, private, admin, storage
+ - May be special NW requirements for performance related projects
+ - Default gateways
