Subject: [tacker] [networking-sfc] Removing required port-id from classifier

Hi Cathy,
I recall a while back discussing removing the required neutron port-id from the classifier.  

Cathy> Do you mean logical source port here?


We just finished up implementing VNFFG in Tacker and are hitting this while testing.  What is the plan to remove this requirement?  Also, how are IETF SFC/NSH related API/plugin changes going?  Can we expect to have attributes like path-id, encap type soon?  

Cathy> The API already provides a way for specifying "path-id" and encap type (currently only MPLS encap type is supported since OVS does not support NSH yet). As to NSH support, the code patch is being worked on, not completed yet. We are also tracking the NSH work in OVS and hope OVS will support NSH soon so that when networking-sfc integrates with that new version of OVS, NSH can be supported properly.  




Thanks,
