I would very much welcome to join efforts so that we define a vendor neutral,
Neutron based generic container that provides the container Network plumbing
using the plugin framework.

The idea is that users will be able to create and use the networks
from the docker
API, but they will also be able to query about the networks, endpoints/ports and
do operations with them talking to the container (or external) neutron server).

Regards,

Toni
