Abstract:
This draft describes the transport encapsulation to carry Network
Service Header (NSH) over UDP protocol. This enables applications
and services using NSH to communicate over a simple layer-3 network
without topological constraints. It brings down the barrier to
implement overlay transports by not requiring additional overhead as
is typical of overlay mechanisms designed on top of UDP.
As a first benefit, this method eases the deployment of Service
Function Chaining (SFC) by allowing SFC components to utilize the
basic UDP/IP stack available in virtually all network elements and
end systems to setup the overlays and realize SFCs.
