+ """Adds a tenant network to VIM
+ Params:
+ 'net_name': name of the network
+ 'net_type': one of:
+ 'bridge': overlay isolated network
+ 'data': underlay E-LAN network for Passthrough and SRIOV interfaces
+ 'ptp': underlay E-LINE network for Passthrough and SRIOV interfaces.
+ 'ip_profile': is a dict containing the IP parameters of the network
+ 'ip_version': can be "IPv4" or "IPv6" (Currently only IPv4 is implemented)
+ 'subnet_address': ip_prefix_schema, that is X.X.X.X/Y
+ 'gateway_address': (Optional) ip_schema, that is X.X.X.X
+ 'dns_address': (Optional) comma separated list of ip_schema, e.g. X.X.X.X[,X,X,X,X]
+ 'dhcp_enabled': True or False
+ 'dhcp_start_address': ip_schema, first IP to grant
+ 'dhcp_count': number of IPs to grant.
+ 'shared': if this network can be seen/use by other tenants/organization
+ 'provider_network_profile': (optional) contains {segmentation-id: vlan, provider-network: vim_netowrk}
+ Returns a tuple with the network identifier and created_items, or raises an exception on error
+ created_items can be None or a dictionary where this method can include key-values that will be passed to
+ the method delete_network. Can be used to store created segments, created l2gw connections, etc.
+ Format is vimconnector dependent, but do not use nested dictionaries and a value of None should be the same
+ as not present.
