Tap as a Service API REFERENCE
==============================
This documents is an API REFERENCE for Tap-as-a-Service Neutron extension.
The documents is organized into three section, TaaS Resources, API Reference
and WorkFlow.
TaaS Resources
==============
TaaS consists of two resources, TapService and TapFlow.
TapService
----------
TapService Represents the port on which the mirrored traffic is delivered.
Any service (VM) that uses the mirrored data is attached to the port.
.. code-block:: python
'tap_services': {
'id': {'allow_post': False, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:uuid': None}, 'is_visible': True,
'primary_key': True},
'tenant_id': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:string': None},
'required_by_policy': True, 'is_visible': True},
'name': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': True,
'validate': {'type:string': None},
'is_visible': True, 'default': ''},
'description': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': True,
'validate': {'type:string': None},
'is_visible': True, 'default': ''},
'port_id': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:uuid': None},
'is_visible': True},
'network_id': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:uuid': None},
'is_visible': False}
}
TapFlow
-------
TapFlow Represents the port from which the traffic needs to be mirrored.
.. code-block:: python
'tap_flows': {
'id': {'allow_post': False, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:uuid': None}, 'is_visible': True,
'primary_key': True},
'tenant_id': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:string': None},
'required_by_policy': True, 'is_visible': True},
'name': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': True,
'validate': {'type:string': None},
'is_visible': True, 'default': ''},
'description': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': True,
'validate': {'type:string': None},
'is_visible': True, 'default': ''},
'tap_service_id': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:uuid': None},
'required_by_policy': True, 'is_visible': True},
'source_port': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:uuid': None},
'required_by_policy': True, 'is_visible': True},
'direction': {'allow_post': True, 'allow_put': False,
'validate': {'type:string': direction_enum},
'is_visible': True}
}
direction_enum = [None, 'IN', 'OUT', 'BOTH']
Multiple TapFlow instances can be associated with a single TapService
instance.

The TaaS client can be used to send REST request and interact with the TaaS
extension. For usage type **taas --help** in the terminal after TaaS has been
installed.
Work Flow
=========
In this section we describe a simple sequence of steps to use TaaS.
Work Flow Sequence
------------------
1. Create a Neutron port with 'port_security_enabled' set to 'false'.
2. Launch a VM (VM on which you want to monitor/receive the mirrored data).
Associate the Neutron port created in step 1 while creating the VM.
3. Using Neutron Client command for TaaS **neutron tap-service-create** or
via REST APIs create a Tap Service instance by associating the port
created in step 1.
4. Using Neutron Client command for TaaS **neutron tap-flow-create** or
via REST APIs create a Tap Flow instance by associating the Tap Service
instance created in step 3 and the target Neutron port from which you want
to mirror traffic (assuming the Neutron port from which the traffic
needs to be monitored already exists.)
Mirroring can be done for both incoming and/or outgoing traffic from the
target Neutron port.
5. Observe the mirrored traffic on the monitoring VM by running tools such as
tcpdump.
You can watch our tech talk session which included a live demo for more
information about using TaaS, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cAkRUB3TCE
