Abstract:
This document introduces and describes a simple and highly scalable
service function chaining mechanism called MAC chaining which is
built largely on existing Ethernet frame and forwarding capabilities.
MAC chaining uses IEEE 802 Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to
provide flexible and complete service function chains. It is largely
transparent to layers above Ethernet and designed to augment and
coexist with existing virtual and physical network forwarding. MAC
chaining is achievable in some devices and virtual switches today
using existing protocols.
