As an update to this, at the IETF97 Hackathon we intend to improve this recently created project: https://github.com/dcdolson/nsh-sf-devkit
We are interested in coming at this from different angles:

-          We would like to support FD.io (VPP) technology as one of the Interface implementations

-          We would like to explore problems of packet injection and reversal with some toy Service Functions.

If you are considering how you can help, or have questions, please contact me.

Subject: [hackathon] Hacking SFC in Seoul -- Service Function development kit

Greetings,

Kyle and I wish to champion an SFC project at the Hackathon in Seoul, to work on a C/C++ high-performance service function development kit based on DPDK.

We are intending to make it easier to develop NSH-enabled Service Functions written in C/C++, or to insert existing functions into a service chain.

Within Sandvine's private cloud "Nubo" we will create and test a simple NFV service function using the library we are developing.

Traffic will be sent to the service function by Sandvine's Traffic Steering Engine (a classifier and SFF).

Skills that will help you:
- C/C++
- DPDK
- Ubuntu

Please let us know your interest!
