Alla, That's a good callout. How about adding the following following the sentence you quoted? "Additionally, the SFF may preserve the handling of packets based on other properties on top of a flow, such as a subscriber, session, or application instance identification." Thanks, Carlos.

I believe it should also be reflected.

In case the classifier is inside the current SFF, it is better to say the SFF re-/classify the traffic than deliver it to a classifier. In case the classifier is in the next SFF, the current SFF would only forward the traffic to the next SFF, without knowing or caring about if there is a classifier there.

It does seem that the definition itself might be unnecessarily overly restrictive. We could say "zero or more" or we could say "typically one or more", but I think it is better to spell out the function. Here's one more comprehensive proposal: Old: Service Function Forwarder (SFF): A service function forwarder is responsible for delivering traffic received from the network to one or more connected service functions according to information carried in the SFC encapsulation. New: Service Function Forwarder (SFF): A service function forwarder is responsible for delivering traffic received from the network to one or more connected service functions according to information carried in the SFC encapsulation, as well as for delivering traffic to a classifier or mapping out traffic to another SFF (in the same or different type of overlay). WG, Reinaldo, Thoughts? Thanks, Carlos. On Aug 25, 2014, at 1:06 PM, Reinaldo Penno <repenno@cisco.com<mailto:repenno@cisco.com>> wrote: A couple of points about SFF definition. You mention "one or more connected service functions" But in our implementation we have two types of SFFs that do not have SFs: - A SFF that maps from one overlay to another, say, VXLAN to GRE - A SFF that only has a classifier (no SFs in itself) Where would they fit or how to to make sure the architecture can predict their usage? thanks, On 8/23/14 1:47 PM, Carlos Pignataro (cpignata) wrote: SFC, Please find below the email notice of a new revision of draft-merged-sfc-architecture. Full set of diffs from -00 (IETF90) to -02 (now) can be seen here: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-merged-sfc-architecture-02&url1=draft-merged-sfc-architecture-00 We still expect further changes to the document; but we also believe that this revision captures the key points and addresses the key open items, as planned in Toronto. The key objective being to create a single document basis for the SFC architecture. SFC Chairs, We believe that this revision fulfills the next steps agreed in Toronto (http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/90/slides/slides-90-sfc-3.pdf). This revision, while we expect changes, is now close enough that we think it makes sense for the WG to take it as the basis for the WG document to address the deliverable. draft-merged-sfc-architecture-02 addressed the key points -- and we believe is ready to start a poll for adoption. Can you please initiate that WG adoption call for draft-merged-sfc-architecture-02? Thanks, Carlos & Joel.
