+L2 Networks
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+L2 networks provide network isolation without any other services. This
+means that there will be no virtual router. It is assumed that the end
+user will have their own IPAM in place, or that they will statically assign
+IP addresses.
+
+- L2 networks can be created by the end users, however network offerings
+ which allow the network creator to specify a VLAN can only be created
+ by the root admins.
+
+- CloudStack does not assign IP addresses to VMs.
+
+- Userdata and metadata can be passed to the VM using a config drive
+ (which must be enabled in the network service offering)
