Microservices and containers networking
summary
Contiv provides an open‑source container networking stack that plugs into Docker and Kubernetes, exposes a REST/CLI, and implements policy groups (reusable firewall, bandwidth and routing rules), tenant isolation, service IPs and built‑in DNS/service discovery. It integrates with physical hardware (Cisco ACI or BGP), advertises service IPs to upstream load balancers, and ships a Vagrant lab and screenshots for a reproducible demo; Cisco reports it scales to hundreds/thousands of nodes and works in multi‑datacenter setups.
