OpenStack virtual network service - BGP-MPLS VPN Extension - doc

Neutron provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect "interfaces" from other OpenStack services (such as vNICs from Nova VMs). The Neutron API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities, including QoS, ACLs, and network monitoring.

This package provides an API and Framework to interconnect BGP/MPLS VPNs to Openstack Neutron networks, routers and ports.

The Border Gateway Protocol and Multi-Protocol Label Switching are widely used Wide Area Networking technologies. The primary purpose of this project is to allow attachment of Neutron networks and/or routers to VPNs built in carrier provided WANs using these standard protocols. An additional purpose of this project is to enable the use of these technologies within the Neutron networking environment.

A vendor-neutral API and data model are provided such that multiple SDN controllers may be used as backends, while offering the same tenant facing API. A reference implementation working along with Neutron reference drivers is also provided.

This package contains the documentation.
