How to test

The Neutron Northbound project includes a dummyprovider bundle which is used for testing the API, objects and transcriber function of the neutron service.

For testing this feature, we have a TBD Jenkins Job that can be triggered to handle CI testing of the odl-neutron-service feature.

Performance/Scalability Concerns

As this service is providing simple data transcribing no additional performance and scalability concerns over those provided by the MD-SAL or existing whiteboard patterns are expected.
