[ovs-dev] SFC ACL and Flow Classifier

2016-07-12 Thread John McDowall
Based on Ryan's suggestions, here is my proposal for implementing the SFC flowClassifier as ACLs. I wanted to get some feedback before I get into another round of changes in the code. Currently I have implemented SFC by adding a new table (ls_in_chain) in the ova-stage of ovn-northd.c as follo

Previous thread contents are here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-June/073836.html Ryan, The flow-classifier rules need to have a lower priority than the ppg rules as they steer the traffic into the chain. Therefore I could do this two ways: 1. I can put the flow-classifier rules

Previous thread contents are here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-June/073836.html Ryan, Trying to keep the thread to a single subject so we can knock them off. There are two cases for multi-tenancy: 1. The VNF is multi-tenant: This implies that a single VNF can exist as a port

Ryan, Thanks for putting together the summary - I have a simple VNF case working with a BiW VNF - very minimal testing. I have added the logic to support multiple port-pairs but have not tested yet. I have included a dump of the flows. The code is posted to https://github.com/doonhammer/ovs the
