implement sriov token server chain element about sdk-sriov HOT 3 CLOSED

/cc @edwarnicke @JanScheurich

from sdk-sriov.

@pperiyasamy Would it make sense here to simply include the token in the Mechanism returned by the NSE?

from sdk-sriov.

@edwarnicke just returning token id might work for dedicated VF case (i.e. one VF per client connection).
In this case, NSE is brought up with required sriov resources upfront based on number of clients it would serve.
The sriov token server element is initialised with allocated token id list, then it would assign a token from the list and send it in mechanism parameter for every client connection request.

I thought storing (via resource pool client communicating assigned VF pci address back into NSE with another service request) and then sending VF pci address into mechanism parameter might be useful for VLAN sub interface case. can we implement this later ?

or you have other thoughts ?
