As per current handling if there is any failure in the taas agent driver there is no way to convey that to the plugin. Due to which end user gets the impression that everything went well. This is confusing. Now, as part of this enhancement, when the tap resources are :- 1. Created: iniitally they shall be created with status 'DOWN' by TaaS plugin. Once the TaaS agent driver exectuion is finished, it will ask the plugin to set the status to either 'ACTIVE' or 'ERROR' depending on whether the driver was able to do its tasks successfully or not. 2. Deleted: as per curretn handling plugin used to first delete the resources from DB and then inform the agent. Now the sequence would be that plugin informs agent first. Agent shall ask the plugin to set the resource status t either INACTIVE (indicates successful deletion, whereby plugin shall clear the resources from the DB) or PENDING_DELETE (failure in deleting the resources from driver, whereby plugin would simply update the status for the resource in DB).

Tap as a Service
Tap-as-a-Service (TaaS) is an extension to the OpenStack network service (Neutron). It provides remote port mirroring capability for tenant virtual networks.
Port mirroring involves sending a copy of packets entering and/or leaving one port to another port, which is usually different from the original destinations of the packets being mirrored.
This service has been primarily designed to help tenants (or the cloud administrator) debug complex virtual networks and gain visibility into their VMs, by monitoring the network traffic associated with them. TaaS honors tenant boundaries and its mirror sessions are capable of spanning across multiple compute and network nodes. It serves as an essential infrastructure component that can be utilized for supplying data to a variety of network analytics and security applications (e.g. IDS).
