Hi,

(I am not Yujing, but since I gave a few inputs to the draft…)

I think that the idea is that the operations can be done by any on-path device 
being able and has thee resources to perform the operation.

That is true. But AFAICT the draft does not go into the specifics of the 
operations. 
So, there are certainly complex/heavy operations that cannot be performed 
on-path.
But this is orthogonal to the draft itself.

SFC is just an example, but yes SINC is supposed to signal what to do with the 
specific packet.
