Abstract

OpenStack is a library of open source software projects, developed to be integrated forming the foundations of Cloud Computing platforms for both Private and Public cloud distributions. Cloud computing relies on remote servers hosted on the Internet rather than a local server/computer. OpenStack consist of many different modular core segments (Nova, Neutron, Glance, Keystone, Horizon, and Ceilometer). Neutron is the networking service which implements services and associated libraries to provide an on-demand, scalable and technologyagnostic network abstraction layer. In this paper we compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of implementing OpenStack on a personal computer Virtual Machine (VM) using Ubuntu Server OS. Our main focus is on Neutron (network service) in OpenStack and their limitations
