Abstract:
This document provides an overview of the issues associated with the
deployment of network services functions (such as firewalls, load
balancers) in large-scale environments. The term service chaining is
used to describe the deployment of such services, and the ability of
a network operator to specify an ordered list of services that should
be applied to a deterministic set of traffic flows. Such service
chains require integration of service policy alongside the deployment
of applications, while allowing for the optimal utilization of
network resources.
