Use Cases

As described in Design, SPP has several kinds of secondary process for usecases such as simple forwarding to network entities, capturing or mirroring packets for monitoring, or connecting VMs or containers for Service Function Chaining in NFV.

This chapter is focusing on explaining about each of secondary processes with simple usecases. Usecase of spp_primary is not covered here because it is almost similar to spp_nfv and no need to explain both.

Details of usages of each process is not covered in this chapter. You can refer the details of SPP processes via CLI from SPP Commands, or via REST API from API Reference.
