mak d43fbe9a11 NFP - Multi process framework implementation
Framework provides multi process execution
environment support for NFP modules.
Multi processing is implemented using
oslo_service and python multiprocessing library.
All the common initializations of
NFP modules for conf, log, processes,
rpc, events are implemented in the framework.

Supports:
a) Autloads NFP modules & their init.
b) RPC init & endpoint registration.
c) Event registration.
d) Multiple worker processes.
e) Threadpool per worker.
f) Event loadbalancing across workers.
g) *aas RPC Agent state reporting support.
h) Periodic polling for an event.
i) Individual spacing for periodic events.
j) Event binding & sequencing.

README.rst

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>
