Description: # Astara
        
        A service with an open plugin architecture that manages Neutron advanced
        services such as routers and load balancers within an OpenStack environment.
        
        ## The Name
        
        Astara is the sanskrit word for carpet. So why name our project carpet?
        
        The original code name for this project was simply "The RUG" which was a
        reference to a line from the popular film "The Big Lebowski":
        
        **That rug really tied the room together, did it not?**
        
        The idea is that "The Rug" really ties OpenStack neutron together nicely. We
        felt it was an apt description so we kept the name.
