Networking SFC plugin for Fuel

Networking SFC

One of the foundations for NFV enabled clouds is to have Networking Service Function Chaining which provides an ability to define an ordered list of network services which to form a “chain” of services. This could be used by f.e. Telcos to simplify management of their infrastructure.

This plugin extends MOS with Networking SFC.

Requirements

Requirement Version
Mirantis OpenStack compatibility 9.0

It is required to install this on vxlans/gre enabled environment. Will not work otherwise. Neutron L2 population setting should be also enabled.

#. Install the plugin:

    # cd /tmp
