Hello all,

We are iterating on a design document for Security Groups implementation
in Dragonflow. [1]

This design leverage the fact that Dragonflow distribute policy level
abstraction
to the local controllers and has Security Group as a first class citizen.

The design tries to tackle the challenges of Security groups deployment at
scale
both for the data plane performance but also for the control plane
performance (keeping
the number of OVS flows to minimum - one per security rule and not needing
to recompile
security group flows on VMs additions/deletions/updates)

You are also invited to read a blog post [2] i wrote about it, similar to
the spec.

We would like to hear your comments/ideas/opinions, please
let us know if you find anything invalid in the proposed solution.

Thanks
Gal
