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