+The network base - experimental
+
+
+We want to have 1 "main" network for convience.
+
+We want to be able to create networks automatically, once a new
+customer is created -> need hooks!
+
+
+Mapping:
+
+- each network is a "virtual" network. We use vxlan by default, but
+  could be any technology!
+- we need a counter for vxlan mappings / network IDs -> cannot use
+
+Model in etcd:
+
+/v1/networks/
+
+
+Tests
+see

+Creating a network:

+1) part of the initialisation / demo data (?)
+
+We should probably provide some demo sets that can easily be used.
