Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
This enhancement adds `NeutronOVSFirewallDriver`, a new parameter for configuring the Open vSwitch (OVS) firewall driver in Red Hat OpenStack Platform director. This was added because the neutron OVS agent supports a new mechanism for implementing security groups: the 'openvswitch' firewall. `NeutronOVSFirewallDriver` allows users to directly control which implementation is used: `hybrid` - configures neutron to use the old iptables/hybrid based implementation. 'openvswitch' - enables the new flow-based implementation. The new firewall driver includes higher performance and reduces the number of interfaces and bridges used to connect guests to the project network. As a result, users can more easily evaluate the new security group implementation.

Description Nir Yechiel 2016-08-17 08:38:50 UTC
This firewall requires OVS 2.5+ version supporting conntrack and kernel conntrack datapath support (kernel>=4.3). For more information, see hhttps://review.openstack.org/#/c/249337/

Configuration required: 

in openvswitch_agent.ini - securitygroup section - set firewall_driver to openvswitch

Comment 2 Nir Yechiel 2016-09-10 10:31:16 UTC
Patch is now merged in upstream Newton.

Comment 6 Toni Freger 2016-11-07 10:27:08 UTC
I have updated virt/network/network-environment.yaml before overcloud deployment with  NeutronOVSFirewallDriver: "openvswitch" .
The firewall driver after installation changed to  "firewall_driver = openvswitch" /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini as it supposed to be.

Setup: 
Controller and Compute on top of RHEL release 7.3
openstack-tripleo-heat-templates-5.0.0-0.6.0rc3.el7ost.noarch
openstack-neutron-9.0.0-1.4.el7ost.noarch


All following tests succeeded to run on this setup: 	
1)test_network_basic_ops.py
2)test_network_advanced_server_ops.py
3)test_security_groups_basic_ops.py

Brent as far as documentation I think we can make do with a doctext here on this RHBZ that would explain how to enable the feature.
