  Dear bug triager. This bug was created since a commit was marked with DOCIMPACT.
  Your project "openstack/neutron" is set up so that we directly report the documentation bugs against it. If this needs changing, the docimpact-group option needs to be added for the project. You can ask the OpenStack infra team (#openstack-infra on freenode) for help if you need to.

      Adding a VNIC type for physical functions
      
      This change adds a new VNIC type to distinguish between virtual and
      physical functions in SR-IOV.
      
      The new VNIC type 'direct-physical' deviates from the behavior of
      'direct' VNICs for virtual functions. While neutron tracks the resource
      as a port, it does not currently perform any management functions.
      Future changes may extend the segment mapping functionality that is
      currently based on agent configuration to include direct types.
      However, the direct-physical VNICs will not have functional parity with
      the other SR-IOV VNIC types in that quality of service and port security
      functionality is not available.
