[openstack-dev] [networking-sfc]

Hello Bernard,
    I believe the design docs and API parts are good and once I had the
environment up and running I didn't have any problems following the
examples or running the commands.

My biggest hurdle was around getting the devstack environment functioning,
I was following the steps here:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/ServiceInsertionAndChaining

I think the issues are related to using Ubuntu 16.04 instead of Ubuntu
14.04 and devstack now recommends 16.04. So the OVS steps seem out of place
and in my local.conf file I needed to set:
--snip--
export SFC_UPDATE_OVS=False
# Disable security groups
Q_USE_SECGROUP=False
LIBVIRT_FIREWALL_DRIVER=nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
enable_plugin networking-sfc git://
git.openstack.org/openstack/networking-sfc stable/newton
--snip--

This could be related to my lack of experience with Devstack, also I was
concerned with having to set SFC_UPDATE_OVS=False in the configuration. Is
this affecting the underlying functionality of SFC.

Also the link to the Horizon add-on would be great.

Thanks
Michael
