Sumit Naiksatam 0b635a961c Update gbpfunctest to account for auto-ptg - Redux
A test in the gbpfunctest functional test suite occassionally
fails in the aim gate job. This is because it does not take into
consideration the presense of an auto-ptg in addition to a PTG
that it creates. It tries to check if the PTG that it created
is assocaited with the relevant L2P or not by scrapping the output
of the show command. If the created PTG is the first in the displayed
list of PTGs in the L2P show output, the test passes, else it fails.

This patch updates the test logic to account for the additional auto-ptg.

A fix was earlier committed to solve this:
I57b925081273300cfc3e5320af6e05a868d0759e

but it did not fix the issue completely.

Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.

GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.

GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.

GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract and consume complex network service chains and graphs.

Checkout the GBP wiki page for more detailed information: <http://wiki.openstack.org/GroupBasedPolicy>

The latest code is available at: <http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/group-based-policy>.

GBP project management (blueprints, bugs) is done via Launchpad: <http://launchpad.net/group-based-policy>
