Public bug reported:
The l2-extensions-api that merged in Mitaka allows extensions of the
OvSNeutronAgent to use the OvS flow table.
This introduces a new challenge of interoperability between extensions creating
flows.
As the OvS flow table matches traffic to flows based on packet characteristics
in the order of priority assigned to the flow,
it will inevitably result in two extensions using flows that will block the
extension that uses the lower priority flows.
Therefore a flow manager or flow pipeline is necessary that will prevent
extensions from blocking other flows from matching traffic.
