Rafael,

How would that work in an OpenStack environment? Im thinking of OPNFV SFC, which is the ideal testing environment for ODL SFC.

Brady

Hi Brady,

Regarding our discussion of Mac Chaining technique and how the original MAC address could be recovery at the end of the chain.

We agreed that a L3 router or gateway could do this job. So, I am wondering how could we put this gateway configuration on the SFC model.

It’s clear to me that a gateway would NOT be part of the chain itself. So I am think we could create a DPL augmentation to configure the gateway on the topology. Therefore, on the switch that the gateway is connected, we can configure a dpl augmented to be gateway connection, and then set its parameters, such as IP address. In other words, it would be a DPL for the chain termination point.

Is that make sense? Do you have any alternative approaches??

Thanks,

Rafael Eichelberger.

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

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

    for further details see

    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.

    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.

    Irena
