+Abstract
+========
+
+This document compiles the release notes for the Colorado release of
+OPNFV SFC.
+
+Important notes
+===============
+
+These notes provide release information for the use of SFC with the Fuel
+and Apex installer tools for the Colorado release of OPNFV.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+The goal of the SFC Colorado release is to integrate the OpenDaylight
+SFC project into an OPNFV environment, with either the Fuel or Apex
+installer. In subsequent releases, other OPNFV installers will be
+considered.
+
+More information about OpenDaylight and SFC can be found here.

+
+Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
+=========================================
+
+System Limitations
+------------------
+
+The Colorado 2.0 release has several limitations:
+
+1 - OPNFV SFC only works in non-HA environments with the Fuel installer.
+There is a bug in ODL which is fixed in ODL Boron SR1 and will be part
+of Colorado 3.0
+
+2 - Any VM (e.g. SFs) must have only one security group.
+There is a bug in ODL Boron which only one security group is read.
+The rest are silently ignored. This issue will be fixed in ODL
+Boron SR1, which will be included in Colorado 3.0.
+
+Known issues
+------------
+
+OpenDaylight SFC relies on a version of Open vSwitch (OVS) with
+Network Service Headers (NSH). A version of OVS with NSH currently
+exists, but it is in a branched version of OVS. Extensive upstream
+work has been done to merge the NSH patches into mainstream OVS,
+but the work is still not complete. More information about this
+can be found in the OPNFV SFC design document (link provided above).
+
+Workarounds
+-----------
+
+The way OpenStack handles VXLAN-GPE tunnels doesnt work well with
+SFC, since OpenStack terminates the VXLAN tunnels in the br-int
+bridge instead of the SF VM. Ideally, the tunnel should be terminated
+in the VM so the SF has access to the NSH header carried in the tunnel.
+A workaround was created to send the packets to the SF VM with the
+VXLAN-GPE headers intact and can be found in the OPNFV SFC design
+document (link provided above).
+
+Test results
+============
+The Colorado release of SFC has undergone QA test runs
+with Functest tests on the Fuel and Apex installers.
