Abstract:
In one embodiment, a device in a network places a path of a service function chain into a testing state. The device causes a self-assessment instruction to be propagated along the path while the path is in the testing state. The device analyzes self-assessment results from nodes along the path. The device adjusts a state of the path based on the analyzed self-assessment results.
