I remember a guy from HPE mentioned they implemented service function chaining 
by using mac, when ODL SFC can support different data plane therefore different 
service function chaining implementation, Now it can implement service function 
chaining by MPLS label, VLAN tag and NSH, so the framework can support new 
implementation without any issue, please submit your patch to Opendaylight 
gerrit, ODL SFC is very open for anything new :)

Do you have any document about your implementation? I'm just very curious how 
you can implement cross-datacenter service function chaining by rewriting MAC.

Subject: [sfc-dev] SFC project to contribute to the community


Hi all,



after contacting few of this community and writing to the irc, i am writing 
here.

The objective is to contribute a sfc project to the community.


I am involved with SDN topics at the ICCLab in Switzerland and for two years

we've been working on SDK for SDN (Netfloc) based on OpenDaylight.
Shortly, Netfloc is an archetype of ODL using ovsdb, openflow plugin,
neutron-northbound and md-sal.



The SFC project is OpenFlow based, uses standard OVS (not NSH enabled and
Yang models for the service definition.
The implementation is based on abstract mac rewriting pattern and it is bound to
Netfloc that uses shortest path algorithm for the virtual network topology.
On the management side, it has gui interface and integrates with NFV 
orchestrator
(via ETSI NSD and VNFGD) and OpenStack Heat.

The sfc project completed a full cycle of development in the past year and has 
been
validated in PoC cloud-NVI scenario using VNFs as virtual traffic classifier 
and video transcoding VNF
..now we are deploying multi-dc demo (chaining is only intra-DC).


As the sfc is alternative to the odl-sfc project, i would like to know if the 
best approach is to submit it as

a standalone solution, or it rather fits closer to the sfc-odl. I also looked 
into the opnfv-sfc community that

happens to be aligned to the odl, so i am looking to find the best fit for this 
work.
