Hi Linda, Sorry for the late response, not sure why this email was filtered into the junk email foldJ
Thanks for the question and suggestions! The current version (00) is a summary from the varies use case drafts, some of them are discussable, especially for those use cases that the detail are not so clear when the use case draft composed. Your suggestions are good, and we will incorporate the suggestions into the next revision. Best regards, Mach From: Linda Dunbar Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 3:16 AM To: Susan Hares; Mach Chen; [email protected] Subject: Questions & suggestions to draft-ietf-i2rs-usecase-reqs-summary-00 Mach and Sue, I have some questions and suggestions for the Section 7: Req from SFC Use Cases: - SFC-US-REQ01: o Is the "service node" here mean "Service Function" Node? Why need the " host system" address? Is "host system address " the Server address When multiple service functions are instantiated on the server? Then the "Server" address is not referenced by Forwarding node. Why need here? o It makes more sense to have "Service Node Address & Service Function Index" tuple to cover the case of one service node having multiple service functions instantiated. - SFC-USE-REQ02: o SF type should be "Vendor & SF name". FW by different vendors have different functionalities. Same goes IP Firewall, LB, etc. - SFC-USE-REQ03: o What is the "virtual contexts" for? Is the "Virtual Context" here mean the same as NVo3's "virtual context", i.e. the "Virtual Network Identifier"? I think Routers have to expose which fields that routers are capable of steering. For example, - Steering packets based on L2 Layer: MPLS label, MAC destination, MAC source, VID, EtherType - Steering packets based on any field of GRE header, VxLAN header, .. - Steering packets based on L3 Layer: IP destination, IP Source, protocol code, ... - Steering packets based on L4 fields: TCP port, UDP port - Steering packets based on ingress port, - Steering packets based on any bits in the packet - Steering packets based on packet size, - Steering packets based on time of the day, Linda
