Abstract:
A method provided in one embodiment includes receiving, at a first network element, a first data packet of a data flow, wherein the data flow is associated with a subscriber. The method further includes receiving subscriber information associated with the subscriber, and encapsulating the subscriber information with the first data packet to form an encapsulated data packet. The method still further includes determining a service chain including one or more services to which the encapsulated data packet is to be forwarded, and forwarding the encapsulated data packet to the service chain.
