Hi Brady, I would like to understand the gaps in implementing LB/FF/Replication across service functions for netvirt classifiers. Looks like this is being realized using service-function-group by associating it with SFP (or) RSP. In fact there is an event listener for service-function-group which programs the group on a particular SFF (right now sfg is supported with only one sff) .
I think we need to address the following: 1. SF can be attached to any SFFs and corresponding groups should get programmed in all SFFs in which RSP footprint is present. 2. Honor service-function-group-name in RSP so that SFC OF pipeline can be programmed to make use these groups for packet steering. Please let us know your thoughts about taking it forward.

They are no longer contributing to SFC, so I don't know of any concrete plans to implement a load balancer.

I have heard this was somehow in the roadmap but has been put on hold. Will it support dynamic scaling of the Service Functions allocated withing a group? I mean "scaling out": increasing the number of service functions in the cluster without losing traffic within the service chain?
