Overview of the OpenStack Neutron Plug-in
OpenStack is a cloud operating system, which builds public, private, and hybrid clouds by using commodity hardware. It offers high performance and throughput. Various network vendors who are specialized in networking gear have utilized the plug-in mechanism offered by Neutron and have moved out the L2, L3, Firewall, VPN, and Load balancing services on to their respective networking devices.
Juniper Networks provides OpenStack Neutron plug-ins, which enable integration and orchestration of EX, MX, QFX, and SRX devices in the customer network.
The Openstack Neutron plug-in has not been tested in a nested virtualization environment.
