neutron-classifier
===============================
Common database model for services that classify packets
This project provides a Common API plugin for services that classify packets in
Neutron.
Please feel here a long description which must be at least 3 lines wrapped on
80 cols, so that distribution package maintainers can use it in their packages.
Note that this is a hard requirement.
The neutron-classifier provides a common API for all neutron services to
deliver a consistent interface for tenants to define specific traffic
classifications. The project rose from the need to create a plugin that is
common to all projects in order to prevent duplicates/varied version of traffic
classification work. The currently supported classification types include
ethernet, ipv4, IPv6, IPv4, tcp, udp. In order to group those types and provide
a common relation, classification groups are used.
Any feedback from users is welcome. The features as well as the API may evolve
based on that feedback.
