This document discusses container networking challenges and how Nuage Networks provides an overlay network solution using MP-BGP. It summarizes that Nuage Networks can scale to support 100,000 containers across 200 networks and virtual routing contexts with convergence times under 10 minutes. It also describes how Nuage Networks can integrate containers running on VMs with physical servers and provide multi-tenancy, security and connectivity across cloud environments.

Container Environments Are More
Dynamic than the Old World
Containers are created and destroyed on the fly (scatter/gather)
To adapt to the demand Overlay SDN needs to follow ,in real time, enforcing
the Security, QoS, NAT or service chaining policies for each container.
