[ovs-dev] [PATCH v1 0/3] Policy-based routing

[Mary Manohar]

This patch series implements policy-based routing.
Policy-based routing (PBR) provides a mechanism to configure permit/deny and reroute policies on the router.
Permit/deny policies are similar to OVN ACLs, but exist on the logical-router.
Reroute policies are needed for service-insertion and service-chaining.
Currently, we support only stateless policies.

To achieve this, we introduced a new table in the ingress pipeline of the Logical-router.
The new table is between the ‘IP Routing’ and the ‘ARP/ND resolution’ table.
This way, PBR can override routing decisions and provide a different next-hop.

Mary Manohar (3):
  [1/3]: Routing policies, add config in schema
  [2/3] Routing policies, add routing-policies in ovn-nbctl
  [3/3]: Routing policies, ovn-northd changes to handle routing policy
    commands.
