Registered by dongfeng

Service function chaining can be defined as an ordered set of service functions that must be applied to packet/s selected as a result of classification - that is, applying specific services in a pre-defined order for selected packet/s on their data path.

This blueprint proposes a solution to achieve neutron's capability for providing service function chaining using OpenFlow & OVS.

should be tracked in networking-sfc.

September-29 (mestery): Vikram, how can this one be Implemented when the one it depends on (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/neutron-api-extension-for-service-chaining) is not implemented yet? Please help me understand so we can target this correctly. Thanks!

September-30 (vikram): Sir, you are correct, this is not yet realized in neutron. My mistake to mark it as 'implemented'. We are trying to achieve the current spec via networking-sfc. This spec will be finally addressed once, networking-sfc gets collapsed to neutron. We are aiming mitaka-1 for this.
