Hi All,

A blueprint has been registered to add Nova vif driver support for Juniper vrouter.

The Juniper OpenContrail Controller is a logically centralized but physically distributed Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller that is responsible for providing the management, control, and analytics functions of the virtualized network.
The Juniper OpenContrail vRouter is a forwarding plane (of a distributed router) that runs in the hypervisor of a virtualized server. It extends the network from the physical routers and switches in a data center into a virtual overlay network hosted in the virtualized servers. The OpenContrail vRouter is conceptually similar to existing commercial and open source vSwitches such as for example the Open vSwitch (OVS) but it also provides routing and higher layer services.
The OpenContrail Controller provides the logically centralized control plane and management plane of the system and orchestrates the vRouters.
