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.

Hi Prasad:

We have seen the BP and review. The problem that we Neutron core are currently
looking at is something which was discussed at the Summit in Hong Kong last week:
The requirement of having Smokestack/Tempest tests for plugins. As a core team, we
haven't decided yet if new plugins will require these tests before being added to the
tree. All plugins will require these tests by Icehouse-2, so IMHO requiring new plugins
to have them before they are submitted makes sense. I suspect we will cover this next
week at the weekly Neutron IRC meeting, so stay tuned.

Thanks,
Kyle
