You mean classifier?

There is an RFE to add traffic control primitives to Neutron:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1476527

That said, I am yet to see any patches to implement that. You are welcome

is generally correct since SFC and TC communities seem to overlap because  
SFC needs to classify traffic.
