Group Based Policy Driver for OpenDaylight Controller
GBP plugin defines a multi-driver based framework to support various implementation technologies (like ML2 has done for L2 support). One of theses drivers is meant to be used with the OpenDaylight (ODL) controller.
Internals
An ODL GBP Policy Mapping Driver supports OpenDaylight GBP. It implements the PolicyDriver interface as defined in the abstract base class services.group_policy_driver_api.PolicyDriver. The GBP/ODL Mapping Driver interfaces with the ODL controller for GBP related operations, and with Neutron ML2 for network/subnet/port related operations.
An ODL GBP Mechanism Driver for Neutron ML2 Plugin provides a feedback loop to the ODL GBP Policy Mapping Driver to trigger policy target related operations when a VM is plugged into the Neutron port.
