Yi,

In the test Manuel is running, SFC is only "active/installed" on compute1, since that's the only SFF that has been configured. The bridge on compute2 is not in the SFC domain, and is only known to netvirt, not to SFC. So, netvirt shouldnt need a classifier on compute2, hence no vxgpe port should be needed on compute2.

Netvirt is using the normal vxlan port (that is, not the vxgpe port) when sending packets from compute1 to compute2, but the packets have the tp_dst set to 6633 instead of 4789, which is not correct.

Manuel, would it be possible to see the netvirt flow used to egress the packets out the normal vxlan port? I hope its not setting the tp_dst incorrectly. It may be that the packets (also in the switch vxlan metadata) already have the tp_dst set to 6633 and its never set to 4789.

Regards,

Brady

I think that is NetVirt classifier issue, in sfc103 demo, we have on SF use case. In your case, you must have two classifiers, one is in compute1, another is in compute2, for compute1, I think you have enabled NetVirt to send back the packet to the client, but for compute2, NetVirt can’t support this, right? Classifier2 must have VxLAN-gpe port for this in compute2.

Hi Yi Yang,

I am observing that sometimes our SFC OPNFV test case fails. I am trying to investigate why and I think I found the problem.

### SET-UP ###

The environment is the following: the http traffic from client gets classified and assigned to a chain with one SF. After the traffic visits that SF, the SFC encapsulation is removed and the packet is sent to the netvirt pipeline. The scenario that fails is the following: client and SF are in compute1, the server is in compute2.

### PROBLEM ###

All the SFC process happens in one OVS because both classifier and SF are in that OVS. Then the packet leaves SFC pipeline and gets into Netvirt pipeline which egress the packet using the vxlan tunnel it has to connect to the compute2. The problem is that instead of using udp port 4789 as it should, it uses udp port 6633. Compute2 has no SFC service so there is no vxlan port listening on udp port 6633 and thus the packet is dropped.

I captured the packet using ovs-dpctl and everything is correct except the tp_dst which is 6633 even though it should be 4789:

recirc_id(0),nsh(nsi=254,nsp=3c,nsh_mdtype=1,nsh_np=3,nshc1=c0a80006,nshc2=12),tunnel(tun_id=0x3c,src=11.0.0.6,dst=10.20.0.11,vxlan(gpe(np=0x3c)),flags(-df+csum+key)),in_port(8),skb_mark(0),eth(src=fa:16:3e:6b:08:c7,dst=fa:16:3e:4a:be:0e),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(dst=11.0.0.4/255.255.255.254,tos=0/0x3,frag=no), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:set(tunnel(tun_id=0x12,src=192.168.2.4,dst=192.168.2.3,ttl=64,tp_src=49676,tp_dst=6633,vxlan(gpe(np=0x4,flags=0)),flags(df|csum|key))),pop_nsh,4

These are the ports (you can see that it egresses on 4 è vxlan_sys_4789):

port 0: ovs-system (internal)

        port 1: br-ex (internal)

        port 2: p_aec4d661-0 (internal)

        port 3: br-int (internal)

        port 4: vxlan_sys_4789 (vxlan)

        port 5: tapbbd70ea7-7b

port 6: tapd5cbb645-01

        port 7: tap3f9a7479-51

        port 8: vxlan_sys_6633 (vxlan)

If I sniff the packets, I can see that all the traffic coming from compute1 and going to compute2 is sent through vxlan and udp port 4789, except for the packets that traversed SFC, which are sent with port 6633:

Can you investigate if this problem might be related to your NSH patch for OVS? Perhaps packets that traverse the SFC pipeline have L4 port destination hardcoded as 6633?

Thanks,

Manuel
