SDN VPN capabilities and usage
================================
The BGPVPN feature enables creation of BGP VPNs according to the OpenStack
BGPVPN blueprint at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/neutron-bgp-vpn.
In a nutshell, the blueprint defines a BGPVPN object and a number of ways
how to associate it with the existing Neutron object model, including a unique
definition of the related semantics. The BGPVPN framework supports a backend
driver model with currently available drivers for Bagpipe, OpenContrail, Nuage
and OpenDaylight.

Currently, in OPNFV only ODL is supported as a backend for BGPVPN. API calls are
mapped onto the ODL VPN Service REST API through the BGPVPN ODL driver and the
ODL Neutron Northbound module.

<Feature and API usage guidelines and example>
-----------------------------------------------

For the details of using OpenStack BGPVPN API, please refer to the documentation
at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/networking-bgpvpn/.
