Yi Yang 84afe597d7 Refactor GBP resource mapping with Neutron RESTful APIs
1. Decouple GBP resource mapping from neutron plugins and use
Neutron RESTful APIs instead.

2. Move neutron_client related calls to neutron_api_mixin for
easier removing in the future.

3. Add mock_neutronv2_api to provide methods to patch the
Neutron RESTful API calls with WSGI calls.

4. Modify the existing 'UT' for the resource mapping driver, by
patching the RESTful APIs with the WSGI calls, to ensure the
test scenarios are still examined and passed.

5. Modify the existing 'UT' for the APIC mapping driver, by
patching the RESTful APIs with the WSGI calls, to ensure the
test scenarios are still examined and passed.

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/stackforge/group-based-policy>.

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

For help using or hacking on GBP, you can send mail to <mailto:openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org>.
