In support of operators with more traditional network monitoring infrastructures, add the ability to collect statistics and status from Neutron.
In the first phase, the goal is to be able to fill in the data structures specified in the following RFCs:
2863 - Interfaces Group MIB [1]
4293 - Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol [2]
This stage focuses on collecting the information from components of the reference implementation, aggregating it so that it aligns with the neutron data model and presenting an interface that north bound systems can use to
consume the aggregated data.
Subsequent phases will be driven by operator feedback and requirements.
See the etherpad [3] for more details.

Where do you plan to store all of these statistics? This could be a large amount of data for a decent sized OpenStack Neutron deployment.
