+Group Based Policy Driver for OpenDaylight Controller
+=====================================================
+
+Launchpad blueprint:
+https://blueprints.launchpad.net/group-based-policy/+spec/gbp-odl-driver
+
+GBP plugin has defined a multi-driver based framework to support
+various implementation technologies (like ML2 has done for L2 support).
+This blueprint proposes a Group Based Policy (GBP) driver to enable GBP
+plugin to be used with OpenDaylight (ODL) controller.
+
+Problem description
+===================
+The Group Based Policy blueprint has proposed new application centric APIs for
+Neutron. Similar to the work in Neutron, there is work in the OpenDaylight
+project to implement these APIs as well. With the APIs being implenented in
+both of these open source projects, we propose a GBP driver to allow OpenStack GBP to orchrestrate ODL GBP
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+The proposed change will:
+1. Add a new ODL GBP Policy Mapping Driver to support OpenDaylight GBP. It will implement the PolicyDriver interface as defined in the abstract base class services.group_policy_driver_api.PolicyDriver, as documented in the GBP BP. The proposed GBP/ODL Mapping Driver will interface with ODL controller for GBP related operations, and with Neutron ML2 for network/subnet/port related operations.
+
+2. Add a new ODL GBP Mechanism Driver for Neutron ML2 Plugin. Such a mechanism driver will provide a feedback loop to the ODL GBP Policy Mapping Driver to trigger policy target related operations when a VM is plugged into the Neutron port.
+
+Alternative
+------------
+There are no alternatives to leverage the native GBP API in ODL.
+
+Data model impact
+-----------------
+None, as this change is simply adding support for new API extensions.
+
+REST API impact
+---------------
+The ODL policy driver will have support for the new GBP API extensions
+added.
+
+Security impact
+---------------
+None.
+
+Notifications impact
+--------------------
+None.
+
+Other end user impact
+---------------------
+Users deploying OpenStack with the Group Based Policy extensions will be able to
+utilze these new APIs in conjunction with the Helium version of OpenDaylight.
+
+Performance Impact
+------------------
+No change here.
+
+Other deployer impact
+---------------------
+To utilize the GBP APIs with OpenDaylight, the following versions of software
+are required:
+* Neutron: Juno
+* OpenDaylight: Helium
+
+Developer impact
+----------------
+None.

+Work Items
+----------
+1. Add an OpenDaylight policy mapping driver to support Group Based Policy APIs
+2. Add an OpenDaylight GBP Mechanism Driver for Neutron ML2 Plugin
+
+Dependencies
+============
+Group Based Policy Service Plugin
+
+Testing
+=======
+Additional unit tests will be added. Furthermore, ODL policy driver should be added as part of OpenStack GBP's CI system
