= Neutron ML2 Driver For Tail-f NCS = --

Overview
The Tail-f NCS Mechanism Driver implements the ML2 Plugin Mechanism Driver API.

It allows OpenStack to talk to the Tail-f Network Control System (NCS) and let NCS provision a multi-vendor network in response to OpenStack network configuration changes.

NCS transforms generic request from OpenStack into device-specific configuration changes that are deployed to the network with transactional guarantees.
