Thanks Igor! Anil and I can help test out real NSH support when we have the networking-odl driver finished.  That would be a good way to exercise that side of networking-sfc code.  Will look at these patches.

Hi Tim,

Just about the second part of your email:

> how are IETF SFC/NSH related API/plugin changes going?  
I'm essentially finished with NSH encap support [1], just have to fix a few bugs and write the tests. Then I will work on connecting port-chains together so we can have SFC graphs, kind of like IETF's branching/reclassification "SFC Encapsulation" chains (described with higher detail in the NSH draft).

> Can we expect to have attributes like path-id, encap type soon?  
The NSH patch I mentioned above will allow NSH encap to be specified for both port-chains and port-pairs and, if port-pairs do not support the port-chain's encapsulation, it's up to the driver to SFC-Proxy the traffic accordingly (OVS will install SFC-proxy flows, just like it does today by default, for MPLS). Regarding the path-id, I was working on a patch to facilitate that [2], but we ended up merging one focused only on enabling the path-id ("chain_id") [3]. So we have both attributes now.

Best regards,

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

Thanks,
