Bug Description

During some of the performance tests, it was observed that on few of the 10G nics (intel br kx4 dual-port, intel 82599es), enabling the csum option boosted the vxlan/geneve performance by triggering GRO on the receiver.

Kindly refer to the link for more details on the role of csum in vxlan performance.
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-August/059335.html

This defect is created to add an additional option (tunnel_csum) in the ovs agent. This option will be passed to the ovs agent, which in turn will set the "option:csum" during the creation of GRE, VXLAN, and GENEVE tunnels

The provision for this option is available in OVS 2.4 for vxlan/geneve.

The changes for this option will be on similar lines of "dont_fragment" flag.

    No network devices on network attached qos policies

    Network devices, like internal router legs, or dhcp ports
    should not be affected by bandwidth limiting rules.

    This patch disables application of network attached policies
    to network/neutron owned ports.

    Use tempest-lib's token_client

    Now tempest-lib provides token_client modules as library and the
    interface is stable. So neutron repogitory doesn't need to contain
    these modules.
    This patch makes neutron use tempest-lib's token_client and removes
    the own modules for the maintenance.

    Fix establishing UDP connection

    Previously, in establish_connection() for UDP protocol data were sent
    but never read on peer socket. That lead to successful read on peer side
    if this connection was filtered. Having constant testing string masked
    this issue as we can't distinguish to which test of connectivity data
    belong.

    This patch makes unique data string per test_connectivity() and
    also makes establish_connection() to create an ASSURED entry in
    conntrack table. Finally, in last test after firewall filter was
    removed, connection is re-established in order to avoid troubles with
    terminated processes or TCP continuing sending packets which weren't
    successfully delivered.
