neutron-common

OpenStack virtual network service - common files

Neutron provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect "interfaces" from other OpenStack services (such as vNICs from Nova VMs). The Neutron API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities, including QoS, ACLs, and network monitoring. This package provides the common files.

neutron-server

OpenStack virtual network service - metapackage for the server

Neutron provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect "interfaces" from other OpenStack services (such as vNICs from Nova VMs). The Neutron API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities, including QoS, ACLs, and network monitoring. As the Debian packages switched to Python 3, it isn't possible to run using Eventlet (ie: the standalone neutron-server daemon) if we use SSL, because of defects in python3-eventlet. So the Debian package maitainer decided to switch to uwsgi instead. In this mode, one needs to also run neutron-rpc-server to listen for requests on the message bus (ie: rabbitmq in most cases). For this reason, the neutron-server package has been split into neutron-api and neutron-rpc-server. Transition package for neutron-server.
