<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This sounds like you’re asking how you might do service function chaining with Neutron. Is that a fair way to characterize your thoughts? I think the concept of service chain provisioning in Neutron is worth
some discussion, keeping in mind Neutron is not a fabric controller.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am thinking loud here, about NFV Service VM and OpenStack infrastructure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know does the below scenario analysis make sense.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NFV Service VM’s are hosted on cloud (OpenStack) where in there are 2 Tenants with different Service order of execution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Service order what I have mentioned here is just an example ..)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Does OpenStack controls the order of Service execution for every packet ? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Does OpenStack will have different Service-Tag for different Service ? <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>If there are multiple features with in a Service-VM, how Service-Execution is controlled in that VM ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>After completion of a particular Service , how the next Service will be invoked ?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph">Will there be pre-configured flows from OpenStack to invoke next service for tagged packet from Service-VM ?<o:p></o:p></p>
