Mapping Real Networks to Physical Networks, Segments, and Logica
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 2016-04-28

In this talk we will dive into the details of how Neutron maps a logical network into underlying network infrastructure with the ML2 plugin. We will explain the difference between physical networks, segmentation types, segments, and logical networks. Then we will show how aÂ Neutron network created via the API uses these components to tell the agents on each computeÂ node how to actually put the packets on the wire. Finally, we will talk about the assumptions Neutron currently makes about segmen
