Linda, By the way, your proposal for Figure 5 would require a column width of at least 80 characters (more than you are supposed to have in an ID), and the situation would be worse if it were applied to figure 6. For figure 5, you can improve the width slightly by fixing up a few of your arrows, and even more by wrapping the figure. Wrapping might detract from simplicity, however. -- Eric From: Linda Dunbar [mailto:linda.dunbar@huawei.com] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 4:49 PM To: Lucy yong; Eric Gray; Jakob Heitz (jheitz); Joel Halpern; Paul Quinn (paulq) Cc: sfc@ietf.org Subject: RE: Figures in draft-quinn-sfc-arch-05 Importance: High I like the Figures drawn by Lucy. Actually why can't Figure 5 be simplified as enter -->{sf1}-->-{sf2|sf2'|sf2''}->--{sf3}-->-{sf4|sf4'|sf4''}->--{sf5}--> exit ??

Depending on how a reader tries to read the draft, this can turn complicated illustrations into a _real_ fun time. :) Also, I am unsure what the figures are trying to convey with some of "dotted lines" crossing the service functions. If the intent is to show that a service function is a virtual instance hosted by some network device, perhaps this will be better shown in a separate figure and this aspect of Figures 5 and 6 can be eliminated? I would suggest replacing Figure 5 with a figure along the lines of: source +-----+ +-----+ | +-->| sf2 +--+ +-->| sf4 +--+ | | | | | | | | | | +------+--+ +-----+ +-->+-----+--+ +-----+ +->+-----+ | | sf1 | +-----+ | sf3 | +-----+ | sf5 | +->| +----->| sf2 +----->| |----->| sf4 +---->| |-+ | | | | | | | | | | | +------+--+ +-----+ +-->+-----+--+ +-----+ +->+-----+ | | +-----+ | | +-----+ | | +-->| sf2 +--+ +-->| sf4 +--+ +----+ | | | | | +-----+ +-----+ V destination Figure 5: Load Balancing (67 characters?) Similarly, I would suggest replacing Figure 6 with a figure along the lines of: source | +-----+-+ +-----+-+ +---+ +-->| sf2 |-|+ +-->| sf4 |-|+ | +---|-->| | || +------>| | || | +------+|---+ +-----+ |+-->+-----+|---+ +-----+ |+-->+-----+ | | sf1 || +-----+ +--->| sf3 || +-----+ +--->| sf5 | +-->| +|------>| sf2 |+---->| ||------>| sf4 |+---->| |--+ | | || +---->| |-+ | || +---->| |-+ | | | | +------+|-|-+ +-----+ |+-->+-----+|-|-+ +-----+ |+-->+-----+ | | | | | +-----+ || | | | +-----+ || | | +------++ | +-->| sf2 |-|+ +-----++ | +-->| sf4 |-|+ +-----+ | | | sf1' | | +-->| | +--->| sf3'| | +-->| | +--->| sf5'| | +-->| +--+ | +-----+----->| |--+ | +-----+----->| |--+ | | | | | | | | | +------+----+ +-----+----+ +-----+ | | +--------+ | V destination Figure 6: Load Balancing and HA (72 characters?) In both cases, the figure has all the same connection complexity (fixed up in a few places), but seems to be less busy. -- Eric
