Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/ovs-firewall-driver.
Description:
Purpose: To support the security groups extension in the OVS neutron agent through OVS flows using the existing OVS library with feature parity to the existing iptables-based implementations. In Icehouse, the existing openvswitch plugin is being deprecated, so the blueprint is compatible with the ML2 plugin with the openvswitch mechanism driver.
Current neutron.agent.firewall.FirewallDriver implementations are based off of iptables (neutron/agent/linux/iptables_firewall.py: IptablesFirewallDriver, OVSHybridIptablesFirewallDriver). This blueprint describes implementing a FirewallDriver sub-class with Open vSwitch.

This was originally cloned from the upstream blueprint and the blueprint was not implemented yet in upstream as of Liberty. Closing for now as there is no special reason to track it on Red Hat bugzilla.
