Public bug reported:

Neutron security-group allow the user to define security groups so that only 
traffic matched with security group rules are allowed.
Sometimes it’s simpler to define these rules as blocking rules which matched on 
traffic that should not be allowed (e.g - allow all traffic except ssh).

Supporting both ‘deny’ and ‘allow’ rules combined in one security-group may 
impair the simplicity of the security-group API, therefore, we'd like to 
consider the option of allowing a new type of security-group, one which all 
rules implicit action is 'deny'.
This group should be constructed as any other security-group (by creating rules 
and assigning to ports).
A Neutron port then could be associated with one or more of both security-group 
types.

For each port, ’deny’ rules (when port is associated with one or more
"deny" security group) will always be matched before ‘allow’ rules.
