Direction support for Firewall Policy

Registered by Slawek Kaplonski

In the current specification it is not possible to define a firewall policy for a specific (ingress/egress) direction. By default, policy rules will be applied for both ingress and egress traffic. This is inefficient as the policy rules will be enforced to all incoming and outgoing traffics even if it is not desired.This BP propose a solution for associating firewall policy with a specific direction.

Whiteboard

Nov-09-2015(armax): If someone is interested in pursuing it, this must be re-submitted according to guidelines defined in [1]. That said, firewall is being overhauled, so I am not sure this can be simply resumed as is.
