 On today's presentation about service function training. My name is Kathy Zhang. I'm a principal architect at Huawei Silicon Valley Center Hi, my name is Swami Natham Vasudevan, and I'm working for HP. So I'm an active technical contributor in OpenStack My name is Steven Wong. I work for V-Armor, a company that provides a Solution for a secure solution for cloud So what is service training? By service training what we mean is that a service function can be automatically inserted into a tenant's flow path and the flows and the flows transportation path can be automatically changed without Recavalling the network devices without manual configurations. So this functionality is currently missing in Neutron, so that's why that's how wise networking that SFC project comes in to fill this gap So the through this project We're going to provide a service chain API that will allow different tenant traffic flows to be automatically provisioned to go through different sequences of service functions So that to get customized service treatment and these service function can run on the VM or a hardware box So this slide shows the architecture of the service chain On the top is a Neutron server the bottom a few compute nodes The yellow boxes the yellow boxes shows the functional modules that support this service chain functionality so the Neutron service chain plug-in, which is put inside the Neutron server has a very similar architecture to the ML2 plug-in on the south northbound is a Neutron service chain API and Then there's a service chain driver manager, which provides a common service chain driver API to the southbound service chain drivers, so there could be different type of service chain drivers that plug it into this This Neutron server to provide the setup of the service function chain path in the data in data plan For example, you can we can provide we can plug in OBS service chain driver We can plug in different controller service chain driver for example ODL driver ODL and onos driver and Even your own company is as SDN controller driver and they you know through your own SDN controller It can talk through open-flow protocol to the To the OBS agent on the compute node or to your switches a hardware switches on the hardware switches and then the data path Subchain will be automatically setup. So here this slide gives a overview of the API There are two parts of the service chain API. One part is a flow classifier So you can specify one or more flow classifier associate with the Service chain API's the flow classifiers Identifies what type of flows that will go through this chain The second part of the search API is a sequence of port pair groups It's an ordered sequence of port pair groups and each port pair group is Is a group of functional like service functions For example, if you have like two file wall VMs You can group them together into one port pair group for load distribution purpose So that you know when the traffic flow goes through this file wall Port pair group it can automatically, you know on to do load balancing to select one Service function one file wall VM to serve the the flow and then so for example on the bottom We show example chain like the traffic flow needs to go first goes to an IPS Service function and then a file wall service function and then a video optimizer service function So for this chain to be set up We need to specify three port pair groups one port pair group for the IPS Another prepare group for the firewall and the third prepare group for the video optimizer For example, if you have for example the file wall you have three file wall VMs and then you group them into a file wall port pair group So this slide that shows the detail on certain APIs. There are four APIs involved First you we create a neutron port pair For each service function for example like for service function file wall for file wall VM You know, it's going to have ingress neutron port and egress neutron port Of course, if some service function these two port can be the same. That's okay So when we create the port pair for that service function, we will specify What's the ingress neutron port and what is the egress neutron port? We can also specify the service function service function parameters Associated with that specific service function for example, what kind of service chain encapsulation mechanism that service function Support you can specify the encapsulation mechanism that service function support in this parameter So after that we created the port pair group as we mentioned before This is a group of functional like service functions. So we can group, you know in this specification We can group multiple port pairs a mouth it with each port pair for one service function instance So then the third step is to create the flow classifier So there are on two types. There are two ways you can specify The flow class file one way is to specify the n-tuple of the flow This can be up to the L7 parameter. You can specify up to the url url link level Another way to specify the flow classifier is specify the neutron port for example, you can specify say any traffic that that Enter in through this neutron port need to go through the chain then you specify the source neutron port or you can specify say Any traffic that exit a neutron port needs to go through this service chain treatment then you specify the the destination Neutron port or you can specify a source neutron port and destination neutron port and then that means the traffic that goes between these two ports will need to go through this chain and last We you can we create the port chain through this port chain API create So here we specify the sequence of the port pair groups and We can specify a flow class file associate with this port chain or we can We do not need to specify any flow class file if no flow classifier is specified for the Port pair for the portion during creation. That means this portion is created, but it's not active Then later you can use a portion update to associate one or more flow class files with that chain So Kathy explained about the API's and this actually picture shows you the flow the control flow How the API's basically work? So if you look at the x-axis and the y-axis here So here the the client This this denotes the client operations or an API orchestration layer and this one denotes the neutron plug-in or an extension for the whole chain and Here is the flow classifier extension as Kathy mentioned. So flow classifier is a separate entity not associated directly into the Port chain functionality. So we have two extensions in future. This flow classifier extension may fall into a core Neutron feature that can be utilized by multiple functions in a neutron It may not be just used by the Port chain functionality, but it can be used by many other programs that is a neutron So that will become an extension right now It's an extension, but it can become a core later because there is a blueprint that has been In discussion right now to have this flow classifier more more enhanced flow classifier so right now the flow classifier that we have targeted is limited and It is extensible, but it is limited right now targeting the core chain functionality And then we have this service chain OBS driver that's in the server side that tries to communicate to the agent to forward all the traffic and We have the service VM infrastructure. So this is basically This is not done by this group But I think the infrastructure is there right now either through the heat or through tackle program that we can have service VMs deployed And based on what service VMs are deployed based on that We can actually utilize the service functionality that we wanted and then we have the service chain OBS agent running on Each and every compute node that actually tries to address the issues based on the drivers communication So here the first thing that we do is either this can be shuffled around these two Things either we can create the port first and then identify the ports Define the egress and ingress port and then create try to create a VM on top of the ports or it can be you can first Create a service VM then identify the ports that are a part of the service VM egress and ingress port If you want to have a single port, it's fine You can still have a single port as in both ingress and egress But if you want if you have two different ports, you can actually specify it as ingress and egress port I think Kathy in our session at two o'clock. She showed a demo like how to configure because we do have a Patch right now in the horizon that actually addresses how to configure. It's pretty simple and easy to go through that So you can actually pick and choose what are the ports that you have and then create a port pass based on that So the next one you normally do is so when you create a VM So this is basically utilizing the service VM infrastructure So it creates the VM then you identify the ports and then once you identify the ports You you know, what are the port pass that you are going to create? So first thing you created is the port pass So once you create the port pass so none of the action is being taken So the only action that is taken is like you you do have a DB object It's been created for the port pairs. So the next one is is basically the port pair groups as Kathy mentioned in her slide So we normally wanted to create a port pair groups It can be just a single port pair in the port pair group or you can have multiple port pairs in the same port pair group So it depends upon the use cases if you want high availability and scalability You can actually go in for multiple port pairs within the same group and then So then you define your flow classifier So basically as I mentioned the flow classifier is an extension right now and it can become a core and it is more extensible in future that you can add more valid functionalities in there where you can actually classify the traffic based on source address IP address and then source port This nation port and then we can also have N number of tuples to actually go through the flow classifier So So I have a picture in here which shows the defined chain parameter. So this is defined as part of Creating your port pairs. So once you create all these entities in your neutron infrastructure Then you create your port chain. So basically what you need to create a port chain is so you need your port pairs You need your port groups and you need a flow classifier being defined So once you have the flow classifier defined you can attach it to your to the port chain And as Kathy mentioned, I think recently we we had a review comment based on the review comments We did made make a small change in there. So we can still go ahead and create a Port chain without a flow classifier But that would still trigger an RPC message going back to the agent to set up the flows ahead of time for you so once you have the all the Setups done then you can actually add a flow classifier later and then based on the flow classifier that you have added It will traverse the packets and then based on that it'll actually move the packets to the next top Whatever it wanted to move on. So this picture shows you like once you create a Port chaining with the flow classifier. So this creates a callback and a notify function to the service chain driver and then the service chain driver actually Notifies the agent through RPC communications and then this Obvious agent in here creates your flows and then the packet actually flows from one service function to another service function So this is basically the control flow and then Kathy is going to talk about Where are we right now with respect to service chaining and then what's our future plans and then we'll go ahead with What are the other considerations that we would be doing for service chaining with respect to performance scalability and enhanceability so here I'm going to give a very Brief introduction of the search and data plan with search and header and the VS line tunnel So on the right side you see this is a compute node So we have VM on the top it connects with the integration bridge through the ingress port egress port And then the integration bridge connect with a tunnel bridge through the patch port and then tunnel bridge connect with External networks through a VS line tunnel. So on the left side. It's a packet format So the VMs format comes out is the original packet plus its own internet header The integration bridge get this packet is going to add a search and header So here you will see is code as it says MPLS But this MPLS has nothing to do with the MPLS transport We're just leverage the MPLS label to use it for the chain ID The reason is because current OVS support MPLS It doesn't support the new server chain header which are proposed in the IETF standard So in the future when OVS support the new server chain header We can easily replace this MPLS fields with a new server chain header fields Then you know when this packet goes to the tunnel bridge tunnel bridge is going to add the external VS line header So here we use our implementation is use a VS line But actually the transport external transport you can use and you can use IP you can use you know GIE tunnel So it's it's transparent. So so that's So in this format, so the server chain packet is actually in it's an inner packet of the VS line VS line tunnel packet So a so external network no matter what type it can be transported over that transparently So here's some information about our project on this project started in Liberty cycle It's going to be released in M cycle We we already implement the code on in in the networking dash SFC ripple This is an open stack neutral approved Ripple for this project. And so we have CLI code. We have horizon code Heat code. We also have, you know, the neutron server code, which includes API DB driver manager Common driver API and OBS driver. We also have codes on OBS agent We also have codes of OBS agent on the compute nodes To implement the data path and here's some information links on this project So if anyone has interest would like to know more about it, you can welcome to go to these links Also, we have on every Thursday morning 10 o'clock Pacific time We have project meetings IRC project meetings. So anyone has interest to contribute or welcome to try So this is our plan for the I'm cycle and future So first we are going to wrap up current work and get the codes ready for release And then we're going to start working on support for a mixed chain of service functions hosted on VM container and physical device Yeah, I'm going to talk later how we can do that. So currently we only support service function hosted on VM And then we're going to you know enhance the scalability and performance of existing implementation And then we're also going to invest a integration with Tucker. We have slight talk about that We're going to also support integration of neutron service function chain with different types of SDN controllers For example with all nodes controller with ODL controller with OVN controller So it could be any types of SDN controller So this diagram this slide shows on the mixed Chain of service function on VM container and physical device So we're going to support this through a new transport attachment API for containers and physical Service device as far as I know there's already work started on this So we were going to work with that with people who is already started this work So in order to support service function chain what we need is you know This API needs to have information of two parts of information one part is a new transport of the container or physical device another part is a service function parameters because like different type service function Parameters that could have different information For example, we need to know what kind of service function type Is hosting is hosted on the container on the physical device What is the service functions locator information such as IP address or MAC address and also service function load status So this is for you know the load distribution purpose and then the service function chain encapsulation method So what kind of encapsulation method the service function support if it doesn't support any Encapsulation method and then the switch that you know sitting at the front of the service function has to act as a service function proxy So as our API is built on new transport the service API is a new transport API So as long as the containers has new transport and physical device has new transport It can be naturally changed into this service chain So the bottom on diagram just shows an example of different service functions running on different, you know Containers physical device or VMs So for X we talked about like what we can do next to increase the extensibility scalability and performance so as I mentioned this has been designed to have an extension and you can actually Extends extend the whole feature and functionality of the flow classifier to include more complex Filtering that if you wanted to do and classify the traffic as quick as possible. So The first target that we are targeting is basically obvious base for chaining and it can be extended to Multiple drivers. So right now we are targeted to write only the obvious driver So this is during the mitaka time frame and if anyone is interested to write any other drivers You can still contact our team or Kathy or you can actually chime into the IRC channels during our meetings and then As I mentioned the flow classifier has been designed to support n tuples and today we are just using the fightable one, but we can actually go ahead and go for the n tuple one and When we design the flow classifier the performance considerations that we we would be taking is basically the search speed ability to handle the real classifier real-life classifiers Scalability number of header fields as I mentioned that we have n tuples so we can actually do a lot of things in there and then Flexibility and specifications so we need to consider like what up what much storage is required and memory consumption It's using so either we can later offload it to a hardware right now We can we are targeting only to do in software, but later we can still do it in hardware based classifiers So extent so if you talk about performance So if you are targeting the workloads to be a virtual appliance based workloads So it basically makes sense to have all your virtual appliances Co-located within a single VM Single node hypervisors so that you can have enough performance in hopping the traffic from one node to another node But I think if you are targeting a mixture of hardware and virtual appliances So you can still go ahead with this one our infrastructure will still support it and then Basically if you have everything done through a hardware It's pretty much easy to go through because it's all the excellent tunnels that you are trying to create from one end to another end And then as we spoke about the the group service chain groups So when you create portpad groups, it provides you Kind of scalability and HA and based on your needs you can actually create multiple service groups that portpad groups based on your requirements and Your portpad groups can be co-located within the same node or it can be distributed Across the nodes for higher availability So right now I think the way that we Make decisions on the OBS. It's been taken care by the OBS itself. So it tries to actually load balance The traffic based on the portpad groups that you have defined So I'll hand it over to Stefan So one of the One of the primary goal for the for the imitaka cycle is to actually do integrations for various different projects So the primary point of integrations on the southbound side is our plug-in and driver framework currently for the for the for the patches on flight everything is going through a service plug-in and So flow classifier as well as a pot chain And as both of these folks actually alluded to many times on the on the imitaka cycle We do expect the flow classifier To be split off and probably go into a neutral and core repo the motivation behind that the major motivation behind that Is because the fire was a service and QoS both actually require flow classifier and as actually Kathy alluded to we Support a list of drivers. So that actually allows you to Have different network segments provided by different network drivers and then we able to plug them all in in an order fashion But there's actually other motivations behind splitting off well not splitting off but separations of flow classifiers and port chain API's also on the very traditional SDN controller integrations They like to actually have a flow programming interface and a config connectivity interface that are separated So we model it after this and then and then for many of the traditional and conventional SDN solutions that we know of today Like onals which one of our SFC team members are committed is committed to actually doing for mitaka It's actually having flow interface and config config topology interface that are separated So that actually aligns very well with with the conventional SDN solutions for things that are actually Like Linux bridge for example, if you want to write drivers of this, they don't have flow classification capabilities They don't have full classification capabilities, so most likely you would have to create a flow drivers for some external flow classifiers and And then have some sort of and then your network drivers would either be Linux bridge or some sort of in this case And some sort of MPLS fabric drivers that goes into there So these two types of integrations are both possible using this current API sets and then One use case that actually having flow classifier Been independent is we don't really have to associate a flow classifier to a service chain And this is basically in essence a way to say that a chain is admin down So a chain is not enable until you actually have a flow classifier associated with that So that's for integrating with things that do not have SFC support For that there are actually SDN solutions today open source ones that has native SFC supports that's including open control actually and Much more famous open daylight the open daylight SFC program in service actually maps extremely well with our networking SFC and interfaces They too actually separated out of the service classifier and the chain interfaces So no in this case the the self-bound users open flow to do flows and then they use over STB to set up the topology But we don't so our API actually maps very well with them on the SFP side, so they have so this is actually a so open daylight actually SFC has two Separate constructs they want they like to separate out the SFC part Which is the logical constructs of the of a chain from the SFP part Which is the path construct which is deployment construct networking SFC actually fits very well with the SFP part The SFC part is high-level constructs of what the chain is There's something actually we will likely never support on the networking SFC the reason why is for open stack because Creating a logical construct of a chain is basically a template of a chain and an open stack There's actually a very well-known projects to set up a template that would be heaths and particularly for the NFV use case the There's actually many other projects that would be able to create things that are not even Native constructs that heaths can actually look at that they would be able to manage and then opens like tackers one such example on NFV use case you normally pull down a Tosker template Actually, you started off with an app catalog Pull down a Yama template And then and then the eight and then the tacker API in this case the hacker server would on board Through heat to on board all the all the service VMs and then when a chain is being set up So currently Tosca the Oasis Tosca Santa body is creating a VNF FG Extensions and then that would allow us to actually set up the chain based on our surface graph actually VNF FG is a forwarding graph So there will be service graph that is being set up and then we can actually set it up a service graph is a Composition of chains. So our API being going into the port level It's actually extremely fitting For creating a service graph. So service graph is basically Concatenation of chains and then using full classifiers as the splitting points to go into different vertices So we can easily do that. So for a very long time All the things like tacker heat app catalog would mostly be provided by Moreno and Well, Nova is actually the one that created all the VMs and then and then the network connectivity of the VMs That provide our neutron for a very long time the only thing that really is missing for a And to end NFV solutions is the ability to for neutron to create a deep to create a chain That deviates from the traditional L2 and L3 forwarding and then as we alluded to actually during the The subject of our talk the wait is finally over that now We actually have a service chains API and neutron that allows you to create a end-to-end stories From on boarding and app catalog and on boarding all the all your service Virtual network functions or network services all the way down to deploying it and creating a change to actually a graph to actually push the traffic over And For that if you want to learn more We have a wiki page Some of our team members did a very good job of putting the docs together. So please read them if you really are interested on Thursday We have a design summit sessions on 430 in the crown room, which I believe in Sakura Tower and actually, that's a Yeah, that's also etherpad ashes. I did there's no link on for etherpad that this should be there And then please come if you want to actually talk about it And we welcome any community members to come in and if you after all of this You're still interested every Thursday. We are having an IOC meetings on OpenStack meetings for 1700 UTC We are So on customary to all the OpenStack meetings the week after the summit we kind of slack So the next meeting won't happen until the 12th. I think November 12th. So oops Thank you Any questions? Oh Yeah, if you have questions, please come to the mic. I had two questions. The first one was in addition to this API I've looked at the the Group Policy API, which also has a service function capability Is that API supposed to map into this API or how does that work? So the One of the things in in in group policy is when you identify basically a flow I believe one of the actions that can happen is called a redirect. Yeah, that's their mechanism of doing service chaining in So far what I've read is that basically that the group policy basically For for everything other than service chaining because I knew about this API But for everything other than service chaining it just maps There's all of the objects which are associated with the group policy map to a neutron object Is the same going to be true for this or yeah, so For the group-based policy project the reference implementation is actually the the neutron mapping drivers the resource mapping drivers For for group-based policy right group-based policy the reference implementations on group-based policy is The neutron mapping resource mapping drivers So for a very long time because neutron doesn't have that construct That mapping drivers basically maps all the traffic to the chain once you associate that with a port With it with an EP with an EPG so that that is independent of actually having a flow So there the API is actually more or less Staging the heat base So they did the implementation that the chain is actually created so that there are two pieces right there's one which has the policy That we direct the redirect to a chain. There's another one that actually creates a chain Yes, and so the redirect to a chain is on the reference implementations it is Actually because neutron lacks this API It doesn't really work in terms of having a particular flow of traffic going to the chain Okay, yeah, so the second part is actually a service chaining portion which My understanding is is the API actually calls heat for implementation That the API for what the API inside is actually creating heat templates Yeah for service for group policy you're talking about it for what so so group policy has a group policy constructs Actually, which is a service function chaining. That's actually a surface function chaining API a group based policy also Okay, I mean, I'm happy to take this offline. I'd like to see a I'd like to see a diagram showing Because so far it my understanding is all I've seen is that these two IPIs are kind of like at the side of each other Whereas I was expecting them. Yeah, so for the resource mapping drivers They can definitely leverage our server chaining API to make it much more Workable and functional Here there are different abstraction level. Yes, you know, I think here is more a logical port level and group based policy It's more like a policy So I agree but at the bottom the bottom line has got to be if it's going to work with this It's the group policy has got a map down Right here, but how to do that mapping that's kind of you know, I'll scope up this party But I think Theoretically the the resource mapping drivers should actually leverage this API That's what I would expect and then and then we would like to see that. Okay, so you're not working with them yet, then No, not directly. Okay. All right, then the second question we had to do the MPLS labels I was a little unclear exactly what the MPLS label is used for. Okay, so So yeah, go back to the picture. So the here on the MPLS level, okay It just used to for the carry the service chain ID. Actually, it's a temporary Implementation to show that, you know, if we have a service chain ID in the data pass The flow table can be much more simplified because instead of you know, you're forwarding and Based on the five tuple or seven tuple eleven tuple. You just just based on this chain ID, right? So this is like temporary placeholder for For current the chain ID in the future It's because current OBS support NPS It doesn't support the new search and header But in the future if it's supported to the OBS open source community support the new search and header We can easily replace these NPS with the new search and header So the MPLS label is added and taken off in the OBS layer before it ever hits the It's the actual function, right? Yeah So it's basically a tag. Yeah It's a little bit confusing when we say NPS, but actually we are using that label to carry the chain ID. It's a tag Yeah, okay. Okay. I have a question regarding your flow classification In the data plane the flow classification in the data plane I can understand how it works if you specify it together with an ingress port But if you specify your flow classifies without ingress port How do you know where to deploy these flow classifiers when to send a route packets to tables to classify the flow? Because if you match on IP addresses, they are only kind of unique within the context of a network or a subnet and could be If you deploy it everywhere on every packet that enters an OBS switch, then you create havoc Yeah, that's a good question. So if you want very good performance, right? You specify the new transport, right? So, you know where the traffic will Enter the flow, right? You just put the classifier at that point But if you don't specify the new transport, you just specify five tuple N tuple, right? You don't know where it's going to come from, right? So then the classification has to put on all the OBS, you know switch So the performance will be a little bit It impacted, yeah, but because you don't know where the traffic will come from. So for some scenarios This cannot be avoided But for some scenarios like for the GI line scenario, you know where the traffic will come from You have a specific entry point, that's PGW. So you can put the classifier at that place, right? But for example, for data center, east-west traffic, right? It could be originated from any Any server, right? Then you have to put the classifier inside, you know, all those places too Yeah, exactly. That is the point I was trying to come to. Your model is not rich enough to kind of express that that you bind the classifier, for example, to a VPN or to a network rather than to an Ingress port Because of the, I mean, the IP addresses are not, sorry, IP addresses are not unique, right? So I mean just deploying a filter everywhere will create Havoc You have to, you have to kind of provide it with the right scope Install it, install it on all the ports that belong to a network or to a set of networks I think it's specifying that we need to apply the chaining with respect to networks rather than ports So, yeah. You mean the flow classifier, but what was, sorry, I have a hard time So you want to apply traffic to like from one subnet to another subnet, for example, right? Oh, so you're talking about the traffic of the chain from one subnet to another subnet? For example, yes, but I mean if you look at group as policies if you're more flexible Oh, yeah, so for to support that, right? If you want one subnet to another subnet, right? You have the subnet entry point, right? You can, as long as this subnet has a exit point of a new transport And then that means you connect this new transport to the next subnet's new transport So these two are kinds of like a tool. You can model it as two service functions, and then you connect them together Well, I think we can take the discussion offline. So a network, a network port group construct is not really a neutron yet So we work with whatever is a neutron. So we don't know we should introduce a group constructs inside neutron That's probably outside of scope of SFC at this point But let me just confirm it. So for downstream traffic If you have a flow classifier What's the solution you guys just put a static route inside the net namespace for that For downstream pop stream traffic. Everything works fine For downstream. What do you guys do? Let's say two cases case one? You do have a flow classifier in case two where you guys to classification in the OBS So if you have a flow classifier, I assume the solution is You put a static route in the net namespace in the network node. Is that right? The other direction right you're talking about one direction this side from the server from the internet to the client Yeah, so from the other direction, then, you know at the entry point you put the flow classifier there So so bidirectional turn is modeled as two chance Because they go through different sequences of service function No one for example, even you from this direction you go through our IPS and then file war So that's the chain is IPS file IPS first the other direction is file war first IPS second So what you're asking is what or not we if the case where we go north to south we go We're going from internet going into into into the network The network would have to have the classifier for all traffic that are coming in You'll have a static route inside the net namespace and send it to a classifier How else will the traffic so it comes in from the internet it goes to the network node It doesn't that again then goes to the net namespace So you guys put the the classifier inside the net namespace where do you guys put it? So when you say a traffic enter the data center, are you talking about the internet check goes to the data center? Yes, you have to put the classifier at that The age Particularly Last question Hopefully my question is not as complicated as theirs How how do you plan to support VMs that use SR IOV because in the VNFs that you've shown SR IOV is a reality and All of your methodology is based upon classification in the OBS. We would we would actually expect SL IOV to have a driver That doesn't use OBS I'm sorry. Say that again. I would we would expect SR IOV base VMs to actually have their own network driver We would the flow classification and all the chain ID Etc. Have an are you expecting that to happen in the neck or in the embedded switch or in the top-of-back switch? and is that the understanding So in a case of IOV you bypass the V switch and then and then The question is if it goes out of SR IOV, how do we tag the NPRS label? It doesn't go through the switch. It doesn't get hit by the flow It doesn't even hit the switch Okay, so then you need to put that into the NIC card. Are you talking about that? Yeah, then you have me to put this function in the NIC card Yeah, so here or in that case if you don't have a label construct in directly into the NIC then you have to basically send it to a Classifier engine somewhere. So so here when we say we implement in OBS It's just a reference implementation So you can pull the like in the class file right now currently do it in OBS You can as a DPI a dedicated DPI device to do it So it's it's it's you know just we haven't got chance to implement that or if you say it doesn't go through the V switch, then you have to implement in the NIC card or if it or your physical switch driver driver interface allows you to create a bunch of Different drivers. So some of them. Maybe OBS the other one may not be so API is generic You know and then the bottom the southbound they can plug in different drivers to do the implementation. Okay. Thank you Okay, yeah, I think I know some people are going to go to the core approval party. So yeah, thank you
