+
+Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
+=========================================
+
+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 private branch. 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.
+
+System Limitations
+------------------
+
+No limitations beyond those in Fuel and Apex have been identified.

+
+Test results
+============
+The Brahmaputra release of SFC has only undergone QA test runs with
+the Fuel installer and basic Yardstick tests, nothing SFC specific.
