SFC feature desciription ======================== For details of the scenarios and their provided capabilities refer to the scenario description documents: - http://docs.opnfv.org/en/stable-euphrates/submodules/sfc/docs/release/scenarios/os-odl-sfc-ha/index.html - http://docs.opnfv.org/en/stable-euphrates/submodules/sfc/docs/release/scenarios/os-odl-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 ------------------ SFC scenarios can be deployed using APEX installer and xci utility. Check the requirements from those in order to be able to deploy the OPNFV-SFC: Apex: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/apex/Apex XCI: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/INF/XCI+Developer+Sandbox
