RESTful API updates for DVR binding.
Implement RESTful API to retrieve DVR-HOST-MAC mapping, this will be used by Vendor-specific controllers.
DVR Interface ports are unlike normal router interface ports. The DVR interface port is cloned on multiple compute servers in order to provide distributed routing functionality. But, there needs to be CLI/API (admin level atleast) to view all bindings of a dvr router interface port in the cloud. Such a CLI/API output will also reflect current status of such replicated ports(UP/DOWN) which will help the cloud admin in troubleshooting DVR routing issues in the cloud.

We are wholly reliant on the REST API's...
I think it's really only access to the MAC Address assignments that we need.
Having read through the rest of the RPC's I think we should have enough info available to us...
