Vikash,
   Unclear what you mean by SFC spinning an L2 IDS?
What is the behavior of L2 IDS devices?

All,
   I am exploring SFC for chaining an IDS device (strictly in L2 mode). As of now, it looks SFC default supports only L3 devices. SFC APIs doesn't have any way to specify the nature of device and without that, it seems there is no way an operator can spin any device/VNF except L3 mode VNFs. Is anything I am missing here ? Can one still spin a L2 IDS with SFC ?
