OpenStack integration with OpenDaylight

Various projects within OpenDaylight integrate OpenStack, such as the VTN project presented in a previous recipe. Within this recipe, we will focus on a different project, the network virtualization project NetVirt.

NetVirt is a virtualization solution using the Open vSwitch database project (OVSDB) as a southbound provider for both open vSwitch and hardware VTEP switches. The NetVirt project also support service function chaining (which will be discussed in the next recipe).

In this recipe, we will demonstrate OpenStack integrated with OpenDaylight using DevStack.

Getting ready

This recipe requires at least two OpenStack nodes, one control node, and one compute node (you could have...
