Request for example of running multiple simultaneous forwarders

[johlj]

Implement/document a test scenario for running and configuring at least two different types of forwarders simultaneously.

For instance the vpp forwarder alongside the sriov forwarder

@johlj Thanks for the activity :)

Question.. Could you clarify the interested scenario?

I see these variants of examples:

Variant1: nsmgr + few different forwarders on the same node. Something like:

Node1:
  nsmgr1
  forwarder-{patform1}
  forwarder-{patform2}

Node2:
  nsmgr1
  forwarder-{patform1}
  forwarder-{patform2}

Variant2: Connection over different forwarders. Something like: nsc->nsmgr1->forwarder-{platform1}->nsmgr1->nsmgr2->forwarder-{platform2}->nsmgr2->nse?

Hi,

both scenarios are interesting but would say a simple scenario with:

2x forwarders
2x NSCs
2x NSEs

NSC1 connects to NSE1 with forwarder1 (and gets an interface of type A)
NSC2 connects to NSE2 with forwarder2 (and gets an interface of type B)

would be the most interesting for us at the moment.

@johlj OK, added this into the Backlog issues.
Waiting for moving this into To do form @edwarnicke
