One other comment: sometimes people use the term "provider network" to mean two things: 1) a quantum network that maps directly to an existing physical or vlan network in the provider's infrastructure. 2) a "shared" network that all tenants have access to (e.g., to reach the Internet).
In Quantum, we use the term "provider" to refer to #1. We use the term "shared" to refer to #2. Not sure which one you were asking about. Salvatore's responses covers #1. For #2, just create a network with --shared=True. Note, with the default policy, you need to be an admin user to create a shared network. dan On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 10:22 AM, Salvatore Orlando <sorla...@nicira.com> wrote: > Hi Naveen, > > That is almost correct.
