<br>
During Thursday's group-policy meeting[1], there are several<br>
policy-rules related issues which we agreed should be posted on the<br>
mailing list to gather community comments / consensus. They are:<br>
<br><br><br>
<br>
(3) Prasad asked for clarification on 'redirect' action, I propose to<br>
add the following text to document regarding 'redirect' action:<br>
<br>
"'redirect' action is used to mirror traffic to other destinations<br>
- destination can be another endpoint group, a service chain, a port,<br>
or a network. Note that 'redirect' action type can be used with other<br>
forwarding related action type such as 'security'; therefore, it is<br>
entirely possible that one can specify {'security':'deny'} and still<br>
do {'redirect':{'uuid-1', 'uuid-2'...}. Note that the destination<br>
specified on the list CANNOT be the endpoint-group who provides this<br>
policy. Also, in case of destination being another endpoint-group, the<br>
policy of this new destination endpoint-group will still be applied"<br>
<br>
Please discuss.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>a. In Neutron, I am not sure whether there is a way to get an object given a UUID without knowing the type of the object, be it a port, network or a specific type of Neutron service.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am less likely to err if uuid is qualified by a type or some human readable name.</div><div> </div><div>b. Is chain definition (how you build a chain of services) within the scope of Global policy BP? A chain may need to be more than an ordered list of UUIDs. It needs be a graph with branches anywhere in the chain. Each path could be considered as a separate chain as well. </div>

I will gather all the feedback by Wednesday and update the<br>
document before this coming Thursday's meeting.<br>

Thanks,<br>
