'''
osconnector implements all the methods to interact with openstack using the python-neutronclient.

For the VNF forwarding graph, The OpenStack VIM connector calls the
networking-sfc Neutron extension methods, whose resources are mapped
to the VIM connector's SFC resources as follows:
- Classification (OSM) -> Flow Classifier (Neutron)
- Service Function Instance (OSM) -> Port Pair (Neutron)
- Service Function (OSM) -> Port Pair Group (Neutron)
- Service Function Path (OSM) -> Port Chain (Neutron)
