Leveraging UNI manager for E2E WAN links
The UNI manager project enables the configuration and the provisioning of connectivity services for both physical and virtual elements, particularly carrier Ethernet services, as defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). It supports the creation of links between two virtual switches by creating a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel between the two endpoints.
