Abstract: Service aware network devices coordinate function chains of virtual functions. The network devices are aware of which virtual functions exist and how to interconnect them in the most efficient manner and define and process service graphs that can be maintained, monitored and redirected. The network devices themselves implement and manage the service graphs, as opposed to the virtual servers that host the virtual functions.
