+Abstract
+========
+This document provides information on how to install the OpenDayLigh SFC
+features in OPNFV with the use of os_odl-l2_sfc-(no)ha scenario.
+
+SFC feature desciription
+========================
+For details of the scenarios and their provided capabilities refer to
+the scenario description documents:
+
+- http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/colorado/docs/scenarios_os-odl_l2-sfc-ha/index.html
+
+- http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/colorado/docs/scenarios_os-odl_l2-sfc-noha/index.html
+
+
+The SFC feature enables creation of Service Fuction Chains - an ordered list
+of chained network funcions (e.g. firewalls, NAT, QoS)
+
+The SFC feature in OPNFV is implemented by 3 major components:
+
+- OpenDayLight SDN controller
+
+- Tacker: Generic VNF Manager (VNFM) and a NFV Orchestrator (NFVO)
+
+- OpenvSwitch: The Service Function Forwarder(s)
+
+Hardware requirements
+=====================
+
+The SFC scenarios can be deployed on a bare-metal OPNFV cluster or on a
+virtual environment on a single host.
+
+Bare metal deployment on (OPNFV) Pharos lab
+-------------------------------------------
+Hardware requirements for bare-metal deployments of the OPNFV infrastructure
+are given by the Pharos project. The Pharos project provides an OPNFV
+hardware specification for configuring your hardware:
+http://artifacts.opnfv.org/pharos/docs/pharos-spec.html
+
+
+Virtual deployment
+------------------
+To perform a virtual deployment of an OPNFV SFC scenario on a single host,
+that host has to meet the following hardware requirements:
+
+- SandyBridge compatible CPU with virtualization support
+
+- capable to host 5 virtual cores (5 physical ones at least)
+
+- 8-12 GBytes RAM for virtual hosts (controller, compute), 48GByte at least
+
+- 128 GiBiBytes room on disk for each virtual host (controller, compute) +
+ 64GiBiBytes for fuel master, 576 GiBiBytes at least
+
+- Ubuntu Trusty Tahr - 14.04(.5) server operating system with at least ssh
+ service selected at installation.
+
+- Internet Connection (preferably http proxyless)
+
+
+Pre-configuration activites - Preparing the host to install Fuel by script
+==========================================================================
+.. Not all of these options are relevant for all scenario's. I advise following the
+.. instructions applicable to the deploy tool used in the scenario.
+
+Before starting the installation of the SFC scenarios some preparation of the
+machine that will host the Colorado Fuel cluster must be done.
+
+Installation of required packages
+---------------------------------
+To be able to run the installation of the basic OPNFV fuel installation the
+Jumphost (or the host which serves the VMs for the virtual deployment) needs to
+install the following packages:
+::
+
+ sudo apt-get install -y git make curl libvirt-bin libpq-dev qemu-kvm \
+ qemu-system tightvncserver virt-manager sshpass \
+ fuseiso genisoimage blackbox xterm python-pip \
+ python-git python-dev python-oslo.config \
+ python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev \
+ libxslt1-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev \
+ expect curl python-netaddr p7zip-full
+
+ sudo pip install GitPython pyyaml netaddr paramiko lxml scp \
+ scp pycrypto ecdsa debtcollector netifaces enum
+
+During libvirt install the user is added to the libvirtd group, so you have to
+logout then login back again
+
+
+Download the installer source code and artifact
+-----------------------------------------------
+To be able to install the scenario os_odl-l2_sfc-(no)ha one can follow the way
+CI is deploying the scenario.
+First of all the opnfv-fuel repository needs to be cloned:
+::
+
+ git clone -b 'stable/colorado' ssh://<user>@gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/fuel
+
+This command copies the whole colorado branch of repository fuel.
+
+Now download the appropriate OPNFV Fuel ISO into an appropriate folder:
+::
+
+ wget http://artifacts.opnfv.org/fuel/colorado/opnfv-colorado.1.0.iso
+
+The exact name of the ISO image may change.
+Check https://www.opnfv.org/opnfv-colorado-fuel-users to get the latest ISO.
+
+Simplified scenario deployment procedure using Fuel
+===================================================
+
+This section describes the installation of the os-odl-l2_sfc or
+os-odl-l2_sfc-noha OPNFV reference platform stack across a server cluster
+or a single host as a virtual deployment.
+
+Scenario Preparation
+--------------------
+dea.yaml and dha.yaml need to be copied and changed according to the
+lab-name/host where you deploy.
+Copy the full lab config from:
+::
+
+ cp -r <path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/deploy/config/labs/devel-pipeline/elx \
+ <path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/deploy/config/labs/devel-pipeline/<your-lab-name>
+
+Add at the bottom of dha.yaml
+::
+
+ disks:
+ fuel: 64G
+ controller: 128G
+ compute: 128G
+
+ define_vms:
+ controller:
+ vcpu:
+ value: 2
+ memory:
+ attribute_equlas:
+ unit: KiB
+ value: 12521472
+ currentMemory:
+ attribute_equlas:
+ unit: KiB
+ value: 12521472
+ compute:
+ vcpu:
+ value: 2
+ memory:
+ attribute_equlas:
+ unit: KiB
+ value: 8388608
+ currentMemory:
+ attribute_equlas:
+ unit: KiB
+ value: 8388608
+ fuel:
+ vcpu:
+ value: 2
+ memory:
+ attribute_equlas:
+ unit: KiB
+ value: 2097152
+ currentMemory:
+ attribute_equlas:
+ unit: KiB
+ value: 2097152
+
+Check if the default settings in dea.yaml are in line with your intentions
+and make changes as required.
+
+Installation procedures
+-----------------------
+
+We state here several alternatives.
+First, we describe methods that are based on the use of the deploy.sh script,
+what is used by the OPNFV CI system and can be found in the Fuel repository.
+
+In addition, the SFC feature can also be configured manually in the Fuel GUI
+what we will show in the last subsection.
+
+Before starting any of the following procedures, go to
+::
+
+ cd <opnfv-fuel-repo>/ci
+
+Full automatic virtual deployment, High Availablity mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This example will deploy the high-availability flavor of SFC scenario
+os_odl-l2_sfc-ha in a fully automatic way, i.e. all installation steps
+(Fuel server installation, configuration, node discovery and platform
+deployment) will take place without any further prompt for user input.
+::
+
+ sudo bash ./deploy.sh -b file://<path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/config/ -l devel-pipeline -p <your-lab-name>
+ -s os_odl-l2_sfc-ha -i file://<path-to-fuel-iso>
+
+Full automatic virtual deployment, non HIGH Availablity mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following command will deploy the SFC scenario with non-high-availability
+flavor (note the different scenario name for the -s switch). Otherwise it
+does the same as described above.
+::
+
+ sudo bash ./deploy.sh -b file://<path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/config/ -l devel-pipeline -p <your-lab-name>
+ -s os_odl-l2_sfc-noha -i file://<path-to-fuel-iso>
+
+Automatic Fuel installation and manual scenario deployment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A useful alternative to the full automatic procedure is to only deploy the Fuel host and to run host selection, role assignment and SFC scenario configuration manually.
+::
+
+ sudo bash ./deploy.sh -b file://<path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/config/ -l devel-pipeline -p <your-lab-name> -s os_odl-l2_sfc-ha -i file://<path-to-fuel-iso> -e
+
+With -e option the installer will skip environment deployment, so an user
+can do some modification before the scenario is really deployed. Another
+useful option is the -f option which deploys the scenario using an existing
+Fuel host.
+
+The result of this installation is a well configured Fuel sever. The use of
+the deploy button on Fuel dashboard can initiate the deployment. A user may
+perform manual post-configuration as well.
+
+Feature configuration on existing Fuel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If a Fuel server is already provisioned but the fuel plugins for Opendaylight,
+Openvswitch are not provided install them by:
+::
+
+ cd /opt/opnfv/
+ fuel plugins --install fuel-plugin-ovs-*.noarch.rpm
+ fuel plugins --install opendaylight-*.noarch.rpm
+
+If plugins are installed and you want to update them use --force flag.
+
+Note that One may inject other - Colorado compatible - plugins to the Fuel
+Master host using the command scp:
+
+scp <plugin>.rpm root@10.20.0.2:<plugin>.rpm
+
+Now the feature can be configured. Create a new environment with
+Networking Setup:"OpenDayLight with tunneling segmentation". Then go to
+settings/other and check "OpenDaylight plugin, SFC enabled",
+"Install Openvswitch with NSH/DPDK, with NSH enabled". During node provision
+remember assign the OpenDayLight role to the (primary)controller
+
+Now the deploy button on fuel dashboard can be used to deploy the environment.

+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.

+
+Introduction
+============
+.. 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. The OPNFV SFC Colorado release uses the OpenDaylight Boron release.
+
+Scenario components and composition
+===================================
+.. 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 classifier used in this scenario is implemented by the Netvirt OpenDaylight
+project.
+
+Following is a detailed list of what is included with this scenario:
+
+OpenDaylight features installed
+-------------------------------
+
+The OpenDaylight SDN controller is installed in the controller node.
+
+The following are the SFC features that get installed:
+
+- odl-sfc-model
+- odl-sfc-provider
+- odl-sfc-provider-rest
+- odl-sfc-ovs
+- odl-sfc-openflow-renderer
+
+The following are the Netvirt features that get installed:
+
+- odl-ovsdb-openstack
+- odl-mdsal-xsql
+- odl-neutron-service
+- odl-neutron-northbound-api
+- odl-neutron-spi
+- odl-neutron-transcriber
+- odl-mdsal-apidocs
+- odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl-rest
+- odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl-ui
+
+By simply installing the odl-ovsdb-openstack feature, all the dependant features
+will automatically be installed.
+
+The VNF Manager
+---------------
+
+In order to create a VM for each Service Function, a VNF Manager is needed. 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
+----------------------------------
+

+
+Introduction
+============
+.. In this section explain the purpose of the scenario and the types of capabilities provided
+The os-odl_l2-sfc-noha is intended to be used to install the OPNFV SFC project in a standard
+OPNFV Non-High Availability mode. The OPNFV SFC project integrates the OpenDaylight SFC
+project into the OPNFV environment. The OPNFV SFC Colorado release uses the OpenDaylight
+Boron release.
+
+Scenario components and composition
+===================================
+.. 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. Since this scenario is Non-High Availability, then only one controller and
+one compute node will be deployed. The classifier used in this scenario is implemented
+by the Netvirt OpenDaylight project.
+
+Following is a detailed list of what is included with this scenario:
+
+OpenDaylight features installed
+-------------------------------
+
+The OpenDaylight SDN controller is installed in the controller node.
+
+The following are the SFC features that get installed:
+
+- odl-sfc-model
+- odl-sfc-provider
+- odl-sfc-provider-rest
+- odl-sfc-ovs
+- odl-sfc-openflow-renderer
+
+The following are the Netvirt features that get installed:
+
+- odl-ovsdb-openstack
+- odl-mdsal-xsql
+- odl-neutron-service
+- odl-neutron-northbound-api
+- odl-neutron-spi
+- odl-neutron-transcriber
+- odl-mdsal-apidocs
+- odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl-rest
+- odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl-ui
+
+By simply installing the odl-ovsdb-openstack feature, all the dependant features
+will automatically be installed.
+
+The VNF Manager
+---------------
+
+In order to create a VM for each Service Function, a VNF Manager is needed. 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.
+
+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.

+
+SFC description
+=====================
+.. Describe the specific features and how it is realised in the scenario in a brief manner
+.. to ensure the user understand the context for the user guide instructions to follow.
+
+The OPNFV SFC feature will create service chains, classifiers, and create VMs for Service
+Functions, allowing for client traffic intended to be sent to a server to first traverse
+the provisioned service chain.
+
+The Service Chain creation consists of configuring the OpenDaylight SFC feature. This
+configuration will in-turn configure Service Function Forwarders to route traffic to
+Service Functions. A Service Function Forwarder in the context of OPNFV SFC is the
+"br-int" OVS bridge on an Open Stack compute node.
+
+The classifier(s) consist of configuring the OpenDaylight Netvirt feature. Netvirt is
+a Neutron backend which handles the networking for VMs. Netvirt can also create simple
+classification rules (5-tuples) to send specific traffic to a pre-configured Service
+Chain. A common example of a classification rule would be to send all HTTP traffic
+(tcp port 80) to a pre-configured Service Chain.
+
+Service Function VM creation is performed via a VNF Manager. Currently, OPNFV SFC
+is integrated with OpenStack Tacker, which in addition to being a VNF Manager, also
+orchestrates the SFC configuration. In OPNFV SFC Tacker creates service chains,
+classification rules, creates VMs in OpenStack for Service Functions, and then
+communicates the relevant configuration to OpenDaylight SFC.
+
+SFC capabilities and usage
+================================
+.. Describe the specific capabilities and usage for <XYZ> feature.
+.. Provide enough information that a user will be able to operate the feature on a deployed scenario.
+
+The OPNFV SFC feature can be deployed with either the "os-odl_l2-sfc-ha" or the
+"os-odl_l2-sfc-noha" scenario. SFC usage for both of these scenarios is the same.
+
+As previously mentioned, Tacker is used as a VNF Manager and SFC Orchestrator. All
+the configuration necessary to create working service chains and classifiers can
+be performed using the Tacker command line. Refer to the `Tacker walkthrough <https://github.com/trozet/sfc-random/blob/master/tacker_sfc_apex_walkthrough.txt>`_
+(step 3 and onwards) for more information.
+
+SFC API usage guidelines and example
+-----------------------------------------------
+.. Describe with examples how to use specific features, provide API examples and details required to
+.. operate the feature on the platform.
+
+Refer to the `Tacker walkthrough <https://github.com/trozet/sfc-random/blob/master/tacker_sfc_apex_walkthrough.txt>`_
+for Tacker usage guidelines and examples.
