+    When using OVS HW offload feature we need to create
+    Neutron port with a certain capability. This is done
+    by creating Neutron port with binding profile. To be
+    able to test this we need profile capability support
+    in Tempest as well.
+features:
+  - A new config option 'port_profile' is added to the section
+    'network' to specify capabilities of the port.
+    By default this is set to {}.
