A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Service Function Chaining Working Group of the IETF. Title : SFC Long-lived Flow Use Cases Authors : Ram Krishnan Anoop Ghanwani Joel Halpern Sriganesh Kini Diego Lopez Filename : draft-ietf-sfc-long-lived-flow-use-cases-01.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2014-12-02 Abstract: Long-lived flows such as file transfers, video streams are common in today's networks. In the context of service function chaining, this draft suggests use cases for dynamic bypass of certain service functions for such flows. The benefit of this approach would be to avoid expensive Layer 7 service function processing for such flows based on dynamic decisions and thus improve overall performance.
