About Eucanetd

The eucanetd service implements artifacts to manage and define Eucalyptus cloud networking. Eucanetd runs alongside the CLC, CC, and/or NC services, depending on the configured networking mode.

Eucanetd manages network functionality. For example:

Installs network artifacts (iptables, ipsets, ebtables, dhcpd)
Performs state management for the installed network artifacts
Maintains the eucanetd.log file
Updates network artifact configuration as needed
In VPCMIDO mode:
- Interacts with MidoNet via the MidoNet API
- Defines network artifacts in MidoNet
