  2. SFCOFL2 patch (tbachman, 16:02:56)
    1. https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/17074 Gerrit that get encapsulation details for the SFCOFL2 renderer (tbachman, 16:03:27)
    2. ebrjohn says he’d rather hold off any decisions on the patch until paulq and repenno have a chance to look at the patch (tbachman, 16:07:58)
    3. ebrjohn says we can discuss the patch today if folks are interested (tbachman, 16:08:13)
    4. ebrjohn says the SFCOFL2 renderer is the openflow renderer in SFC; was present in the Helium release, but lacked encapsulation and only supported very simple/basic topologies (tbachman, 16:08:56)
    5. ebrjohn says he’s refactored it to support “normal” SFC topologies, and added VLAN and MPLS encapsulations (tbachman, 16:09:15)
    6. ebrjohn says the openflowpipeline (the easy part) is done (tbachman, 16:09:26)
    7. ebrjohn says the hard part - writing configuration information into the SFCOFL2 plugin - still needs to be done (tbachman, 16:09:42)
    8. ebrjohn provides an example with a service chain with two SFFs — problem is you need to know the encap info between SFF1 and SFF2: ingress to SFF1 and egress from SFF2; asks “where do you specify this information?" (tbachman, 16:10:28)
    9. ebrjohn says you could specify this on the individual SFF — on ingress and egress — providing things like VLAN 100 and VLAN 200, but that won’t work: need to specify a unique VLAN per RSP (tbachman, 16:11:14)
    10. ebrjohn says as an example, given 3 RSPs, with RSP1 using VLAN 100, RSP2 using VLAN 200,a nd RSP3 using VLAN 300. Do you need to create a data plane locator per path? (won’t scale) (tbachman, 16:11:54)
    11. ebrjohn says you could put this in the service path, and then the RSP is created by merging the SFC and SFP (tbachman, 16:13:07)
    12. ebrjohn says we need to discuss this in more detail — need repenno and paulq involved in that discussion (tbachman, 16:14:09)
    13. repenno noted that we need some sort of function, where there is a pair of SFFs and the path ID, and provides encap info for that hop (tbachman, 16:15:11)
    14. ebrjohn asks Andrej how they do this with NSH? (tbachman, 16:15:58)
    15. ACTION: ebrjohn to schedule a separate meeting with paulq and repenno on that topic (tbachman, 16:18:16)

  3. Other Items (tbachman, 16:18:24)
    1. ebrjohn says he’s on vacation next week (Easter week in Spain) (tbachman, 16:18:41)
    2. ebrjohn asks if anyone is available to host the meeting next Thursday (tbachman, 16:18:57)
    3. ACTION: ebrjohn to send email to the SFC mailing list, asking if anyone can host the meeting (tbachman, 16:19:21)
    4. ebrjohn says the M4 is on April 16th; This is the API freeze, so we need to have those finalized by then (tbachman, 16:20:08)
    5. ebrjohn says that all of the documentation needs to be at “draft” quality for M4 (tbachman, 16:20:42)
    6. ebrjohn set up tasks for M4 in the Trello board (tbachman, 16:20:57)
    7. ebrjohn says we need a simple set of System Tests for M4 as well (tbachman, 16:22:12)
    8. ebrjohn says there’s a hackathon between M4 and M5 milestones (tbachman, 16:24:48)
    9. ebrjohn says anyone interested in going is more than welcome (tbachman, 16:25:12)
    10. http://www.opendaylight.org/events/2015-04-15/opendaylight-hackfest-april-2015 web page on the hackfest (tbachman, 16:25:54)
    11. ebrjohn says Ricardo Noriega is joining the team from Ericsson (tbachman, 16:26:26)
    12. Ricardo will be joining the SFC project after Easter; has some experience with ODL in Helium (tbachman, 16:26:53)
    13. ebrjohn says that ChrisPrice talked a few weeks ago about SFC being integrated into OPNFV; ChrisPriceAB suggested ebrjohn nominate himself in OPNFV as well as the SFC project lead (tbachman, 16:28:34)
    14. ebrjohn says the bulk of the tasks will be to pull from the ODL git repo, build it, and test it in an integration environment with OpenStack (tbachman, 16:29:36)
    15. ebrjohn says OPNFV will likely push use cases back into ODL (tbachman, 16:29:58)
