  2. Document High Level Summary • Describes a dataplane header used to carry information along a service path. • Identifier for service path selection • Opaque metadata fields • Creates “service plane” • Transport independent (NSH in VXLAN, NSH in MPLS, NSH in UDP, etc.) • Service layer OAM • Implemented on several platforms, including open source

  4. Path Identification + Index • Service Path (SP) identifies a service path (not a chain) • SP is not used for transport  enables transport selection • Let the network do its thing • Can be changed: branching within a service graph • Re-classification (and therefore policy) decision • Index conveys node within the graph

  5. NSH: Path ID and Index

  7. Metadata • Opaque  semantics assigned via a control plane • Common metadata: application ID, user information, forwarding context • Suggested allocation in the draft • De-facto assignment per “use case” seems likely • Mobility vs. data center

  8. NSH Metadata and Policy

  9. Next Steps • Continue to collect feedback from the SFC community • Continue to evolve protocol based on deployment feedback • Adopt as a working group document: SFC encapsulation • Submit to IESG Standards Track document specifying the generic service function chaining header encapsulation
