Can be achieved via SFC. Not required to have a separate solution for
this.

Title:
  RFE - Add Neutron API extension for packet forwarding

Status in neutron:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  [Existing problem]
  This spec is about adding forwarding rules to Neutron API extension.

     There are several use cases to forward packets without considering 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 destined packets are changed regardless of the IP or MAC addresses. These functions can be described as forwarding rules.

     Currently, Neutron doesn't have any API's for addressing such
  issues. Hence, the current RFE aims at proposing forwarding rules as a
  new extension for Neutron.

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