Public bug reported:

[Existing problem]
   This spec is for adding fowarding rules to Neutron API extension.

   There are several use cases to forward packets without considering about packet
   header. For example, in Service Function Chaining(SFC) use cases,	
   when a transparent network function (e.g. IDS, WAN Accelator) is dynamically	
   inserted into the chain, the destination of packets are changed regardless of
   the IP or MAC addresses. These functions can be described as forwarding rules,
   but in Neutron API it is not defined. So in this spec, we propose forwarding
   rules as new extention of Neutron API. However, this is not "Chain".

[What is the enhancement?]
   Add the forwarding rules to Neutron API as extension.
