Re: [vnfpool] Overlap with SFC?

Daniel:

All of my use cases show  control/management (as most network protocols do),
but the key part of use cases I posted is the need for pools for redundancy
with redundancy mechanisms for virtualized network functions.

I plan to work on the control/management part in SFC.

Hi All, 

The SFC charter items (specifically 4 & 5) are:

4. Control Plane Mechanisms: A document will be developed to describe
requirements for conveying information between control or management
elements and SFC implementation points. All protocol extension work
resulting from these requirements should be carried out in the working group
responsible for the protocol being modified in coordination with this
working group, but may be done in this working group under a revised charter
after agreement with all the relevant WG chairs and responsible ADs.

5. Manageability: Work on the management and configuration of SFC components
related to the support of Service Function Chaining will certainly be
needed, but first needs to be better understood and scoped.

Hi,

The IESG is looking at the BoF requests for London, and a question came up
on the overlap between the proposal here and items 4 and 5 in the SFC
Charter.

I think it would be valuable if you could discuss the overlap and the
interaction between the two efforts so that there is a clear view.

Thanks,
Adrian
