+Attributes
+==========
+
+Neutron Networking w/ ML2 & LinuxBridge
+----
+
+A new plugin attribute has been added. Valid options include ovs or ml2_linuxbridge.
+
+A set of attributes for LinuxBridge have been added. It is not necessary to create a bridge manually; LinuxBridge does this for you. Simply specify the physical interface to use in the bridge.
+
+```javascript
+
+	  "plugin": "ml2_linuxbridge",
+      "ml2_linuxbridge": {
+        "provider_networks": [
+          {
+            "label": "ph-eth1",
+            "bridge": "eth1",
+            "vlans": ""
+          }
+        ],
+        "network_type": "vlan",
+        "external_bridge": ""
+      }
+```
+
+There is no vxlan support.
