This is accomplished by associating a ``conntrack_helper`` + sub-resource to a router. To create a ``conntrack_helper``, the user + specifies: a router ID, the protocol (TCP or UDP, for example), the port + number and the conntrack helper module alias (tftp or ftp, for example). + CRUD operations for ``conntrack_helpers`` are implemented by a Neutron API + extension and a service plugin. Please refer to the Neutron API reference + documentation for details. A router can have multiple ``conntack_helpers``. + + The new configuration option + ``[l3-conntrack-helpers]/allowed_conntrack_helpers`` allow the operator to + configure allowed helpers, and the helper protocol constraints.
