NSH in OVS is not something Neutron can do anything about. Neutron is about defining abstractions that can apply to a variety of technologies and experiment with what open source component is available on the shelves. Anyone can take the abstraction and deliver whatever technology stack they want with it and we'd happily gather any feedback to iterate on the abstraction to address more and more use case. > > > AFAIK, it is the position of Neutron to have any OVS related new features > developed inside the OVS community. > > > > Thanks, > > Cathy > > > > *From:* Elzur, Uri [mailto:uri.el...@intel.com] > *Sent:* Friday, May 13, 2016 3:02 PM > *To:* OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions); > Armando M > *Subject:* [openstack-dev] [Neutron] support of NSH in networking-SFC > > > > Hi Armando > > > > As an industry we are working on SFC for 3 years or so (more?).
