Add support for multus and sriov CNI, device plugins (Chenjie)
- Related Story: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2005208   (in progress by Steve Webster)
- StarlingX needs to add support for bind/unbind drivers for sriov+dpdk when image nfvpe/sriov-cni (https://hub.docker.com/r/nfvpe/sriov-cni ) is updated to latest code
        - sriov cni removed the support for bind/unbind drivers : https://github.com/intel/sriov-cni/commit/ca31173989fa555320f2d29ca2757a321b2d6970
- For now, StarlingX is ok because we are using an older version of the sriov-cni image. Need to determine what to do in STX if we want to move to a newer version.
        - Do we want to stick with the current image for stx.2.0?


Neutron Patch upstreaming
- Populate binding levels when concurrent ops fail: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1755810 
        - Patch merged: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/606827/   (Kailun)

- Port Forwarding for Floating IP is not in openstack client
        - https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004924 
        - This is already being worked by the community under: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1811352

- Containerized OVS
        - Given the 2.11 is now merged on the host, this work  can start.
        - Estimate is 3wks. If starting next week, forecast would be June 7 (which is MS-3 for the containers features). Action: Forrest/Cheng to confirm

stx.3.0 Networking Features:
- Need to start looking at this
