This chapter describes how to install the OpenStack Networking service and get it up and running.
If you are building a host from scratch to use for OpenStack Networking, we strongly recommend using Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 or Fedora 17/18 as these platforms have OpenStack Networking packages and receive significant testing.

OpenStack Networking requires at least dnsmasq 2.59, to support all the options it requires. |
