Description Stephen Gordon 2013-11-21 19:24:49 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/pci-passthrough-sriov.

Description:

Addresse functionalities required in the neutron side to support SRIOV. Basically, a neutron port can be either pci-passthrough capable or not. There are existing port properties that can be used for this purpose:
 
binding:capabilities                                                
binding:profile                                                                               
 
    * Add the ability to specify the following in the port-create API:
        . PCI alias
        . direct pci-passthrough/macvtap
        . port profile
    * Add property to indicate the PCI device used for a neutron port
