Abstract:
In the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture, a SDN
controller establishes flow paths. SDN controller, classifier, and
SFF(Service Function Forwarder) do closely interact for SFC packet
transmission. However, failure can happen at some nodes in SFC-
enabled domain preventing packet forwarding, and such situation
should be avoided. Backup SF(Service Function) can be one of
solutions. Additionally, mandatory/optional criterion can decide
whether to bypass the failed SF. In this document, we illustrate
failover method locally by SFF and globally by controller.
