Abstract:
This document describes the use of BGP as a control plane for
networks that support Service Function Chaining (SFC). The document
introduces a new BGP address family called the SFC AFI/SAFI with two
route types. One route type is originated by a node to advertise
that it hosts a particular instance of a specified service function.
This route type also provides "instructions" on how to send a packet
to the hosting node in a way that indicates that the service function
has to be applied to the packet. The other route type is used by a
Controller to advertise the paths of "chains" of service functions,
and to give a unique designator to each such path so that they can be
used in conjunction with the Network Service Header.
This document adopts the SFC architecture described in RFC 7665.
