GBP plugin framework provides the capability to use +different drivers to render the policy definition using a specific technology. +One Convergence GBP driver is required to implement the GBP APIs [1] using the +connectivity, policy flow and service insertion primitives provided by NVSD +controller. + +Proposed change +=============== + +We propose the addition of a new GBP driver to implement the GBP APIs [1] and +render the policy using the NVSD controller. This driver will proxy the APIs +via REST interface to the NVSD controller. The GBP driver for NVSD controller +will implement the PolicyDriver interface as defined in the abstract base class +services.grouppolicy.group_policy_driver_api.PolicyDriver. + +Alternatives +------------ + +None + +Data model impact +----------------- + +None (existing GBP model is used) + +REST API impact +--------------- + +None + +Security impact +--------------- + +None + +Notifications impact +-------------------- + +None + +Other end user impact +--------------------- + +The driver will reuse the configuration for NVSD Neutron plugin [2] to access +the NVSD controller. + +Performance Impact +------------------ + +This driver should allow for a more scalable solution of GBP deployments +using the NVSD controller. + +Other deployer impact +--------------------- + +None + +Developer impact +---------------- + +None + + +Implementation +============== + +Assignee(s) +----------- + +Hemanth Ravi (hemanthravi) + +Subrahmanyam Ongole (songole) + + +Work Items +---------- + +1.
