1. replace router_type=asr with edge_nat=true as we will need this mode for other types of routers too. 2. when edge_nat=true, replace Shd-<L3 out name> with Auto-<L3 out name> as this l3 out will also have node/IF profiles created. 3. these 2 naming changes were requested by Mandeep. 4. also use "none" while checking the BGP authentication. This way if in the future they add support to other new types of authentications then the code will still work. Change-Id: I469073ad3c03cfa1f6c0bb93d452a72236eabb73 Partial-Bug: 1547723
Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.
GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.
GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.
GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract and consume complex network service chains and graphs.
