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.

Thanks,
Periyasamy

Miguel,

At one point the folks from Ericsson had plans for load balancing across 
service functions once the logical service function forwarder was implemented.

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

Regards,

Brady

Hi everyone,

  I would like to ask about status and plans for having load balancers
in a service chain. 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?

Thanks,
Miguel.
