Boden R 9d44af10b3 use neutron-lib for _model_query
The model_query module is in neutron-lib and the CommonDBMixin will
eventually be removed. This patch swiches use of the _model_query
method over to query_with_hooks from neutron-lib.

This patch also bumps the neutron-lib version up to 1.20.0

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).
