Add REJECT action rule for fwaas¶
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/fwaas-reject-rule
Add REJECT into action rule of FWaaS. Action rule of current FWaaS contains only ALLOW/DENY. DENY simply discards the data without a response, but REJECT returns a response. Connection source by this response can be judged to be “connection was refused”.
Problem Description¶
Action rule of current FWaaS contains only ALLOW/DENY. DENY simply discards the data without a response, but REJECT returns a response. Without REJECT feature, end users cannot know whether their accesses are super late or rejected. This REJECT feature will be a good option for FWaaS.
