Abstract:
This draft describes the transport encapsulation to carry Network
Service Header (NSH) over UDP transport protocol. This enables
applications and services using NSH to communicate over a simple
layer-3 network without topological constraints. It brings down the
barrier to deploy NSH by not requiring additional overhead as is
typical of overlay encapsulation mechanisms designed on top of UDP.
As a first benefit, this method eases the deployment of Service
Function Chaining (SFC) by allowing SFC components to utilize the
basic UDP/IP stack available in virtually all network elements and
end systems to setup the virtual network and realize Service Function
Chains (SFCs).
