Networking tools for Charms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a result of refactoring the charm codebase responsible for configuration
of SR-IOV VF functions and to support the new OVS hardware offload features
for Mellanox network cards the neutron-openvswitch charm now makes use of
two networking tools (sriov-netplan-shim and mlnx-switchdev-mode) provided
via the `Networking Tools PPA`_.
This PPA can be mirrored for offline deployments - the neutron-openvswitch
charm may be configured to use a mirror for these packages using the
'networking-tools-source' configuration option.
NEW CHARM FEATURE GOES HERE
