This plugin aims to replace the need for the Virtual Router VM when using
MidoNet, by providing services such as Source NAT, Static NAT, DHCP, Firewall
within the MidoNet virtual network.
The plugin creates the correct logical topology in MidoNet based on user API /
UI actions in CloudStack.
VM Guest traffic NICs connect to a TAP interface on the host, via which traffic
flows into the MidoNet virtual network. Routing, firewall rules etc are applied
in the virtual network, and traffic is tunnelled to the appropriate destination
host, and then on to the destination VM.
The functional spec will provide more detail on tis feature, but if this ticket
needs more detail or any changes, please let me know.
