Hi,

[Cross-posting to BESS and SFC as requested by the AD]

We just posted an update to draft-mackie-bess-nsh-bgp-control-plane
You can find it at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mackie-bess-nsh-bgp-control-plane/ where
the diff function on the History tab may be useful.

In summary:

- We added some sections to the "Advanced Topics" in Section 7
   - Considerations for Stateful Service Functions
   - Flow Spec for SFC Classifiers
   - Choice of Data Plane SPI/SI Representation
- We added some more examples in Section 8
    - Examples of SFPs with Stateful Service Functions
- Two new IANA sections at the end of Section 10
    - New Generic Transitive Experimental Use Extended
      Community Sub-Type
    - SPI/SI Representation

(Note that the diff tool makes a pig's ear of the changes around the end of
section 7 trying to fold them into section 8.)

Other changes are more minor and are mainly slight clarifications

As usual, we'd be delighted to discuss this document on either of the mailing
lists.

It looks as though Eric and I will be in Westford during the SFC interim next
week, so we can also talk face-to-face with anyone who is there.

Thanks,
Adrian
