+NetVirt - Network Virtualization Services
+=========================================
Several services and plugins in OpenDaylight work together to provide simplified
integration with the OpenStack Neutron framework. These services enable
OpenStack to offload network processing to OpenDaylight while enabling
OpenDaylight to provide enhanced network services to OpenStack.

+NetVirt Services are at parity with the Neutron Reference Implementation in
OpenStack, including support for:

* Full support for distributed Layer-2 switching and distributed IPv4 routing
is now available.
+ * NAT and Floating IPs
+ * IPv6
+ * MAC and IP learning
* Clustering - Full support for clustering and High Availability (HA) is
available in the this OpenDaylight release. In particular, the OVSDB
southbound plugin supports clustering that any application can use, and the

full clustering support. While there is no specific limit on cluster size, a
3-node cluster has been tested extensively as part of the release.
Contract-based Security Groups require OVS v2.5 with contract support.
* Hardware Virtual Tunnel End Point (HW-VTEP) - Full HW-VTEP schema support has
- been implemented in the OVSDB protocol driver. Support for HW-VTEP via

- as we wait for full support of Layer-2 Gateway (L2GW) to be implemented within
- OpenStack.
