Detailed Description
Quantum is a virtual networking service developed for the OpenStack cloud computing platform, but also applicable to other advanced virtual machine network deployments. Fedora 17 will include the Essex release of Quantum, including plugins supporting Open vSwitch, Linux bridge, and Cisco UCS and Nexus for network transport between VMs. Information on the upsteam project is available at Quantum Launchpad and Quantum Wiki.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora users will be able to construct and manage arbitrary independent layer 2 networks for OpenStack and other virtual machine deployments. As Quantum continues to evolve, layer 3 constructs such as routing, VPNs, firewalls, and load balancing will be incorporated.
Scope
