Plug-ins can have different properties for hardware requirements, features, performance, scale, or operator tools. Because Networking supports a large number of plug-ins, the cloud administrator can weigh options to decide on the right networking technology for the deployment.
In the Havana release, OpenStack Networking introduces the Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in that enables the use of multiple concurrent mechanism drivers. This capability aligns with the complex requirements typically found in large heterogeneous environments. It currently works with the existing Open vSwitch, Linux Bridge, and Hyper-v L2 agents. The ML2 framework simplifies the addition of support for new L2 technologies and reduces the effort that is required to add and maintain them compared to earlier large plug-ins.
