Thomas Bachman 0db062f60b Create notifications for dependent ports
Changes to certain neutron resources, such as DHCP or LBaaS ports,
require notiications be generated to ports who depend on those
changes (e.g. if a DHCP agent port state changes, the host route
to the metadata agent needs updating). This patch checks if:
   o  an update or delete to a DHCP or LBaaS port occurs
   o  the port belongs to an opflex type network

If both of the above conditions are met, the plugin generates port
update notifications to all the ports on that network, so they can
update their parameters using the request_endpoint_details_list RPC.

README.rst

Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.

GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.

GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.

GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract and consume complex network service chains and graphs.

Checkout the GBP wiki page for more detailed information: <http://wiki.openstack.org/GroupBasedPolicy>

The latest code is available at: <http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/group-based-policy>.

GBP project management (blueprints, bugs) is done via Launchpad: <http://launchpad.net/group-based-policy>
