|
<para>OpenStack Networking was created to provide a rich
|
|
API for defining network connectivity and addressing in the cloud.
|
|
The service, code-named "Neutron" (formerly known as "Quantum"), gives
|
|
operators the ability to leverage different networking technologies to
|
|
power their cloud networking.</para>
|
|
<para>The Board of Directors and Technical Committee members involved in
|
|
networking-related development and documentation have decided to change
|
|
the code name to "Neutron", as part of a legal agreement with Quantum
|
|
Corporation (the owner of the "Quantum" trademark).</para>
|
|
<para>Any references to the previous code name have been removed in this guide wherever
|
|
possible; all configuration files have been changed in the Havana release and this guide
|
|
updated respectively.</para>

<para>This guide assists OpenStack administrators in
|
|
leveraging different networking technologies to power
|
|
their cloud networking. This document covers how to
|
|
install, configure, and run OpenStack Networking.</para>
|
|
<para>You must have access to a plugin providing
|
|
the implementation of the OpenStack Networking service. Plugins are
|
|
distributed both within and externally to the OpenStack Networking distribution.
|
|
For more information, see the <link linkend="flexibility">plugin listing</link>.

|
</para>
|
|
<para>You should also be familiar with running the OpenStack
|
|
Compute service as described in the operator's documentation.
