Irena/Rafael,


I have looked at both of your ideas, and they seem quite similar. I think it would be worthwhile for the 2 of you to consider joining forces to submit a common MAC-based service chaining solution to ODL SFC.


I have already replied to Irena when she contacted me in private, and think her Netfloc solution is similar to the ODL Genius project, thus I suggested she also contact the Genius project about adding what may be needed there.


Regards,


Brady

Thanks for getting back, i will submit a patch as suggested.​

You can check out section 5.3 in [1] for the source code implementation and [2]

for the sfc solution. Also some progress work related to Netfloc and the sfc in [3].

I was the one from HPE. We are finishing an implementation of MAC Chaining under ODL, and we are planning to publish a gerriton ODL SFC project shortly.

for further details see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-fedyk-sfc-mac-chain/

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 J

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.
