+Unit Tests
+----------
+Unit tests are a separate class of tests in tempest. They verify tempest
+itself, and thus have a different set of guidelines around them:
+
+1. They can not require anything running externally. All you should need to
+   run the unit tests is the git tree, python and the dependencies installed.
+   This includes running services, a config file, etc.
+
+2. The unit tests cannot use setUpClass, instead fixtures and testresources
+   should be used for shared state between tests.

+
+    """
+    This test suite assumes that Nova has been configured to
+    boot VM's with Neutron-managed networking, and attempts to
+    verify cross tenant connectivity as follows
+
+    ssh:
+        in order to overcome "ip namespace", each tenant has an "access point"
+        VM with floating-ip open to incoming ssh connection allowing network
+        commands (ping/ssh) to be executed from within the
+        tenant-network-namespace
+        Tempest host performs key-based authentication to the ssh server via
+        floating IP address
+
+    connectivity test is done by pinging destination server via source server
+    ssh connection.
+    success - ping returns
+    failure - ping_timeout reached
+
+    setup:
+        for each tenant (demo and alt):
+            1. create a network&subnet
+            2. create a router (if public router isn't configured)
+            3. connect tenant network to public network via router
+            4. create an access point:
+                a. a security group open to incoming ssh connection
+                b. a VM with a floating ip
+            5. create a general empty security group (same as "default", but
+            without rules allowing in-tenant traffic)
+            6. for demo tenant - create another server to test in-tenant
+            connections
+
+    tests:
+        1. _verify_network_details
+        2. _verify_mac_addr: for each access point verify that
+        (subnet, fix_ip, mac address) are as defined in the port list
+        3. _test_in_tenant_block: test that in-tenant traffic is disabled
+        without rules allowing it
+        4. _test_in_tenant_allow: test that in-tenant traffic is enabled
+        once an appropriate rule has been created
+        5. _test_cross_tenant_block: test that cross-tenant traffic is disabled
+        without a rule allowing it on destination tenant
+        6. _test_cross_tenant_allow:
+            * test that cross-tenant traffic is enabled once an appropriate
+            rule has been created on destination tenant.
+            * test that reverse traffic is still blocked
+            * test than revesre traffic is enabled once an appropriate rule has
+            been created on source tenant
+
+    assumptions:
+        1. alt_tenant/user existed and is different from demo_tenant/user
+        2. Public network is defined and reachable from the Tempest host
+        3. Public router can either be:
+            * defined, in which case all tenants networks can connect directly
+            to it, and cross tenant check will be done on the private IP of the
+            destination tenant
+            or
+            * not defined (empty string), in which case each tanant will have
+            its own router connected to the public network
