Neutron Advanced Services Project Split

Registered by Doug Wiegley

Over the last several months, the members of the Networking Program have been discussing ways to improve the management of our program. When the Quantum project was initially launched, we envisioned a combined service that included all things network related. This vision served us well in the early days as the team mostly focused on building out layers 2 and 3; however, we’ve run into growth challenges as the project started building out layers 4 through 7. Initially, we thought that development would float across all layers of the networking stack, but the reality is that the development concentrates around either layer 2 and 3 or layers 4 through 7. In the last few cycles, we’ve also discovered that these concentrations have different velocities and a single core team forces one to match the other to the detriment of the one forced to slow down.
