Open Stack

Hi neutron folks,

I know that there are patches on gerrit for VPN, FWaaS and L3 services that
are leveraging Provider Framework.
Recently we've been discussing more comprehensive approach that will allow
user to choose service capabilities rather than vendor or provider.

I've started creating design draft of Flavor Framework, please take a look:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/FlavorFramework

It also now looks clear to me that the code that introduces providers for
vpn, fwaas, l3 is really necessary to move forward to Flavors with one
exception: providers should not be exposed to public API.
While provider attribute could be visible to administrator (like
segmentation_id of network), it can't be specified on creation and it's not
available to a regular user.

Looking forward to get your feedback.

Thanks,
Eugene.
