In this section explain the purpose of the scenario and the types of capabilities provided +The os-odl_l2-sfc-ha is intended to be used to install the OPNFV SFC project in a standard +OPNFV High Availability mode. The OPNFV SFC project integrates the OpenDaylight SFC project +into the OPNFV environment.

In this section describe the unique components that make up the scenario, +.. what each component provides and why it has been included in order +.. to communicate to the user the capabilities available in this scenario. + +This scenario installs everything needed to use the SFC OpenDaylight project in an OPNFV +environment.

The OPNFV +SFC project currently uses the Tacker OpenStack project as a VNF Manager. Tacker is +installed on the controller node and manages VNF life cycle, and coordinates VM creation +with the OpenDaylight SFC project. + +Scenario usage overview +======================= +.. Provide a brief overview on how to use the scenario and the features available to the +.. user. This should be an "introduction" to the userguide document, and explicitly link to it, +.. where the specifics of the features are covered including examples and API's + +Once this scenario is installed, it will be possible to create Service Chains and +classification entries to map tenant traffic to individual, pre-defined Service Chains. +All configuration can be performed using the Tacker CLI. + +Limitations, Issues and Workarounds +=================================== +.. Explain scenario limitations here, this should be at a design level rather than discussing +.. faults or bugs. If the system design only provide some expected functionality then provide +.. some insight at this point. +This scenario is not working in Colorado 1.0 with the Fuel installer, since Tacker is not +registered in the HA Proxy and calls to Tacker fail. This will be fixed in Colorado 2.0. + +Specific version of OVS +----------------------- + +SFC needs changes in OVS to include the Network Service Headers (NSH) Service Chaining +encapsulation. This OVS patch has been ongoing for quite a while (2 years+), and still +has not been officially merged. Previously, SFC used NSH from a branched version of OVS +based on 2.3.90, called the "Pritesh Patch". In the OpenDaylight Boron release, SFC was +changed to use a newer, branched version of OVS based on 2.5.90, called the "Yi Yang +Patch". + +The older version of OVS only supported VXLAN-GPE + NSH encapsulation, but the newer +version supports both ETH + NSH and VXLAN-GPE + ETH + NSH. Currently SFC is only +implemented with VXLAN-GPE + ETH + NSH. + +Workaround for VXLAN and OpenStack +---------------------------------- + +When using NSH with VXLAN tunnels, its important that the VXLAN tunnel is terminated +in the SF VM. This allows the SF to see the NSH header, allowing it to decrement the +NSI and also to use the NSH metadata. When using VXLAN with OpenStack, the tunnels +are not terminated in the SF VM, but in the “br-int” OVS bridge. A work-around has +been created to address this issue, which can be found here: + +http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/brahmaputra/docs/design/architecture.html#ovs-nsh-patch-workaround + +In subsequent versions of SFC, we will change the SFF-SF transport to be ETH + NSH, +which will obviate this work around. + +References +========== + +For more information about SFC, please visit: + +https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/sfc/Service+Function+Chaining+Home + +https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Service_Function_Chaining:Main + +For more information on the OPNFV Colorado release, please visit: + +http://www.opnfv.org/colorado + diff --git a/docs/release/scenarios/os-odl_l2-sfc-noha/index.rst b/docs/release/scenarios/os-odl_l2-sfc-noha/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ef3e4fbe --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/release/scenarios/os-odl_l2-sfc-noha/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +..
