Network API Operations

Use the Networking API v2.0 with the provider extended attributes to get information about, create, and update networks.

The provider-prefixed extended attributes for networks are:

Table 5.1. `provider` Extended Attributes for Networks
Attribute	Description
`provider:network_type`	The type of physical network that maps to this networks resource. Examples are `flat`, `vlan`, `vxlan`, `local`, and `gre`.
`provider:physical_network`	The physical network on which this network object is implemented. The Networking API v2.0 does not provide a way to list available physical networks. For example, the Open vSwitch plug-in configuration file defines a symbolic name that maps to specific bridges on each Compute host.
`provider:segmentation_id`	An isolated segment on the physical network. The `network_type` attribute defines the segmentation model. For example, if `network_type` is `vlan`, this ID is a `vlan` identifier. If `network_type` is `gre`, this ID is a `gre` key.
