Features of OpenStack Networking

OpenStack Networking includes many technologies you would find in the data center, including switching, routing, load balancing, firewalling, and virtual private networks.

These features can be configured to leverage open source or commercial software and provide a cloud operator with all the tools necessary to build a functional and self-contained cloud networking stack. OpenStack Networking also provides a framework for third-party vendors to build on and enhance the capabilities of the cloud.
