In subsequent releases, other OPNFV installers will be +considered. + +More information about OpenDaylight and SFC can be found here. + +- `OpenDaylight <http://www.opendaylight.org/software>`_ version "Boron" + +- `Service function chaining <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/sfc/Service+Function+Chaining+Home>`_ + + +- Documentation built by Jenkins + + - Overall OPNFV documentation + + - `Design document <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/colorado/docs/design/index.html>`_ + + - `User Guide <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/colorado/docs/userguide/index.html>`_ + + - `Installation Instructions <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/colorado/docs/installationprocedure/index.html>`_ + + - Release Notes (this document) + + +Release Data +============ + ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Project** | sfc | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Repo/tag** | colorado.2.0 | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Release designation** | Colorado base release | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Release date** | November 10 2016 | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Purpose of the delivery** | Improve functionality provided in | +| | Brahmaputra release.

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. + +References +========== +For more information on the OPNFV Colorado release, please see: + +OPNFV +----- + +1) `OPNFV Home Page <https://www.opnfv.org>`_ + +2) `OPNFV documentation- and software downloads <https://www.opnfv.org/software/download>`_ + +3) `OPNFV Colorado release <http://wiki.opnfv.org/releases/colorado>`_ + +OpenStack +--------- + +4) `OpenStack Mitaka Release artifacts <http://www.openstack.org/software/mitaka>`_ + +5) `OpenStack documentation <http://docs.openstack.org>`_ + +OpenDaylight +------------ + +6) `OpenDaylight artifacts <http://www.opendaylight.org/software/downloads>`_ + +Open vSwitch with NSH +--------------------- + +7) https://github.com/yyang13/ovs_nsh_patches + |
