Re: Project Proposal for NSH-Based Service Function Chaining

Hi Jim,

 

I have a few comments below after reviewing the proposal:

1)      Do we need to add a bullet mentioning to-be-supported NSH transport, such as VxLAN-GPE, GRE and Ethernet. I think VxLAN-GPE and GRE are mandatory, and Ethernet is optional.

2)      How about add “Support NSH Timestamping” to the miscellaneous section. We have a DPDK based PoC to implement IETF draft https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-browne-ietf-sfc-nsh-timestamp-00 per customer requirement about breakdown of end-to-end SFC latency to diagnostic potentiation performance issue. It is based on MD Type 2 so should be a middle term feature, but like NSH traceroute it will be very useful in the production environment.

3)      Can we add “Support TCP proxy for symmetric L4 flows”. Though this feature depends on VPP to add L4 protocol, it will be very useful for including those stateful L4-l7 network services to SFC in the long term.
