Abstract:
This document provides an overview of the usage of Path Computation
Element (PCE) to dynamically structure service function chains.
Service Function Chaining (SFC) is a technique that is meant to
facilitate the dynamic enforcement of differentiated traffic
forwarding policies within a domain. Service function chains are
composed of an ordered set of elementary Service Functions (such as
firewalls, load balancers) that need to be invoked according to the
design of a given service. Corresponding traffic is thus forwarded
along a Service Function Path (SFP) that can be computed by means of
PCE.
This document specifies extensions to the Path Computation Element
Protocol (PCEP) that allow a stateful PCE to compute and instantiate
Service Function Paths.
