Title : Service Function Chaining Problem Statement
Authors : Paul Quinn

Filename : draft-ietf-sfc-problem-statement-11.txt
Pages : 19

Abstract:
This document provides an overview of the issues associated with the
deployment of service functions (such as firewalls, load balancers,
etc.) in large-scale environments. The term service function
chaining is used to describe the definition and instantiation of an
ordered list of instances of such service functions, and the
subsequent "steering" of traffic flows through those service
functions.
The set of enabled service function chains reflect operator service
offerings and is designed in conjunction with application delivery
and service and network policy.
This document also identifies several key areas that the SFC working
group will investigate to guide its architectural and protocol work
and associated drafts.
