Thomas Bachman 1e35489bf1 Fix implicit ICMPv6 Security Group Rules
The implicit security group rules only included a rule to allow
ICMPv6 ingress traffic. Furthermore, the security group rules
used reflexive connection tracking, which causes issues when
integrated with Open vSwitch rules (the router advertisement
messages would result in connection tracking returning an
"invalid" state). This patch adds bidirectional ICMPv6 to the
implicit rules, without the reflexive behavior, which will
allow the SLAAC process to succeed.

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>
