neutron-classifier
===============================
Common database model for services that classify packets
This project provides a common API plugin for services to classify traffic in
Neutron as well as an agent extension implementation to distribute these classifications.
Please feel here a long description which must be at least 3 lines wrapped on
80 cols, so that distribution package maintainers can use it in their packages.
Note that this is a hard requirement.
The neutron-classifier provides a common API for all neutron services to deliver
a consistent interface for tenants to define specific traffic classifications.
The usage of the agent extension aids in the propagation of classifications to the
backend. The project rose from the need to create a plugin that is common to all
projects in order to prevent duplicates or varied versions of traffic classification work.
The currently supported classification types include ethernet, ipv4, IPv6, IPv4, tcp, udp.
In order to group those types and provide a common relation, classification groups are used.
Any feedback from users is welcome. The features as well as the API may evolve
based on that feedback.
