The IESG has received a request from the Service Function Chaining WG (sfc) to consider the following document: - 'Hierarchical Service Function Chaining (hSFC)' <draft-ietf-sfc-hierarchical-08.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-05-21. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Hierarchical Service Function Chaining (hSFC) is a network architecture allowing an organization to decompose a large-scale network into multiple domains of administration. The goals of hSFC are to make a large-scale network easier to reason about, simpler to control and to support independent functional groups within large network operators. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sfc-hierarchical/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sfc-hierarchical/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
