Scope
This is a fresh activity, please understand that solutions for this scenario are not yet available. They are mostly in design or development stage.
The IntraCloud Networking Scenario deals with virtual machine networking within the environment of a single provider (hence the intra prefix). It focuses on achieving two main goals:
- Being able to list available networks, pick one and connect virtual machines to it.
- Being able to create new [private] networks, even with non-trivial topologies.
The scenario is also looking at other services that could be provided:
- Useful appliances (virtual network elements such as NAT/DHCP, FlowMon, …)
- Recommendations (tools?) for VM images to make them better prepared for different properties of networks in federated environments
- Security groups / profiles to allow owners to restrict the behavior of their VMs in networks.

Roadmap
The roadmap will be specified soon. Many of the tools and solutions to bue used in this scenario are in fact expected from the INDIGO-DataCloud project. Reasonably detailed roadmap will be provided after INDIGO publishes its plan of work.
Documentation
There is currently no documentation specific to this Scenario. A subset of what it entails is possible with existing tools. Therefore, you may try consulting HOWTO11 How to use the rOCCI Client.
