Hi Anton,

The draft below addresses the use case you are mentioning. Would love to have 
your comments.

Subject: [i2rs] Question and new usecase

Hi all,

I have a question and a potential usecase. I was reading the charter today and 
it mentioned some fairly specific usecases. I've been thinking of another 
fairly specific class of usecase that I had hoped I2RS would deliver.

The question is, where do you raise discussion on a new usecase, is it here on 
the list?

The usecase itself is about flow installation or basically non-destination 
based routing and forwarding. Imagine a router participating in an IP/MPLS 
domain, which is running for example multiple L3VPNs, L2VPNs, or even just 
plain L3 routing.

It would be desirable to be able to dynamically push down new policy based 
rules to an access interface such that as traffic ingresses the node it can be 
redirected to either services (like an L3VPN context) or forwarded, based on 
whatever can be filtered/matched in the incoming packet.

In essence policy based forwarding (aka PBR), but allowing I2RS to push down 
the policies (match criteria, action, etc.), edit them, remove them, and so 
forth. This could allow for instance, based off orchestration layer decisions, 
the dynamic redirection or separation of traffic that would have been 
previously grouped together, and not restricted to just QoS separation but 
allowing path separation or service redirection. 

Regards,
Anton
