[one-users] VLAN Leases

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

The scenario you describe is already supported by OpenNebula.
If you use any of the network isolation drivers [1], users can create new
isolated networks using the VLAN=YES attribute in the VNet template [2].

To make things even easier, we recently released a virtual router appliance
[3]. Users can include it in each one of their isolated networks, and it
will take care of the DHCP and routing to the exterior.

Cheers
