Bug Description

Documentation is missing about network_data.json.

The only available documentation is from the original spec which is a bit out of sync with the implementation: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/liberty/implemented/metadata-service-network-info.html

For example: links[x]['type'] is in fact the vif model type, not the "vif" constant:
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/748bb12eb280dcf24c88a778439480ae387467a9/nova/network/model.py#L149

And documentation could benefit from a better description and purpose of each fields.

Yup, definitely agree, and it's not just network_data.json, but everything in the metadata / config drive response.
