Heyo. The ServiceNET feature is Rackspace specific because Swift
originated as Cloud Files of course.

That setting does absolutely nothing unless you are Rackspace, of
course, but there wasn't any other way of passing the configuration
setting to the swift client from the glance swift driver without
putting it in the main config file.

Hope that helps. You can effectively ignore it.

Cheers!
