<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">We have just started looking at the same issues you have mentioned. Please follow the email thread started by me earlier today (</font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>[openstack-dev] [neutron][policy] Using network services with network policies</b></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">). We will be spending more time on these topics during our upcoming weekly IRC calls as well.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Best,</font><br>

<font size="3" face="serif">Hi,</font><br>
<br>
<font size="3" face="serif">I’ve a couple of questions regarding the ongoing work on Neutron Group Policy proposed in [1].</font><br>
<br>
<font size="3" face="serif">1. One of the described actions is redirection to a service chain. How do you see BPs [2] and [3] addressing service chaining? Will this BP implement its own service chaining mechanism enforcing traffic steering or will it make use of, and thus depending on, those BPs?</font><br>
<br>
<font size="3" face="serif">2. In the second use case presented in the BP document, “Tired application with service insertion/chaining”, do you consider that the two firewalls entities can represent the same firewall instance or two running and independent instances? In case it’s a shared instance, how would it support multiple chains? This is, HTTP(s) traffic from Inet group would be redirected to the firewall and then passes through the ADC; traffic from App group with destination DB group would also be redirected to the very same firewall instance, although to a different destination group as the chain differs.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="3" face="serif">Thanks.</font><br>
<br>
