             Summary: Standard API for networking
                 Key: LIBCLOUD-519
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-519
             Project: Libcloud
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Tomaz Muraus


New standard API (e.g. libcloud.networking) for "Networking as a Service" for 
handling services such as OpenStack Neutron / Quantum.

Ideally there should also be some integration with the compute API. For 
example, compute driver would instantiate a networking driver and use it to 
handle all the networking operations.

Good example of this is OpenStack driver. Currently all the networking API is 
handled using Nova networking, but once we have a new networking API, we could 
make this pluggable meaning user could select which API to use (nova networking 
/ neutron networking) when instantiating a driver.

(more details to follow)
