===============================================
Fuel plugin for FWaaS functionality in Neutron
===============================================
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/support-fwaas-in-mos
FWaaS (FireWall-as-a-Service) is Neutron extension that introduces firewall
feature set.
Neutron FwaaS provides a cloud-centric abstractions for a security feature
set spanning traditional L2/L3 firewalls to richer application-aware
next-generation firewalls.
This plugin uses IPTables driver.
Problem description
===================
FWaaS is a very popular and useful feature, which controls the incoming and
outgoing network traffic based on an applied rule set. A firewall establishes
a barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another network
(e.g., the Internet) that is assumed not to be secure and trusted. Today
it is a neccesary functionality for the using OpenStack in production.
Proposed change
===============
Implement FUEL plugin which will configure FWaaS functionality in Neutron
and Horizon.
Alternatives
------------
It also might be implemented as a part of FUEL core, but we decided to make
it as a plugin for several reasons:
* Community decided to separate FWaaS and other aaS services into their own
project(repo), so we would do it the same way.
* Another reason is that any new additional functionality makes a project and
testing more difficult, which is an additional risk for the FUEL release.

Work Items
----------
* Implement Fuel plugin.
* Implement puppet manifests.
* Testing.
* Write documentation.
Dependencies
============
* Fuel 6.0 and higher.
Testing
=======
* Prepare a test plan.
