Abstract: A first packet of a packet flow is received at a classifying network device. The first packet is forwarded from the classifying network device to a firewall network device. An indication that the packet flow is to be offloaded is received at the classifying network device. Data is stored at the classifying network device indicating that the packet flow is to be offloaded. A non-control packet of the packet flow is received at the classifying network device. A determination is made that the non-control packet belongs to the packet flow by comparing data contained in the non-control packet to the stored data. The non-control packet of the packet flow is directed to a processing entity in response to the determining. A control packet of the packet flow is received at the classifying network device. The control packet of the packet flow is directed to the firewall network device.

Abstract: In one example, a service function forwarder of a service function chain enabled domain receives, from a classifier of the service function chain enabled domain, network traffic assigned to a service function path that includes at least one service node configured to apply a service function to the network traffic. The service function forwarder forwards the network traffic along the service function path. The service function forwarder receives, from the at least one service node, instructions for dynamically assigning a particular service function path to predicted network traffic that the at least one service node predicts will be triggered by the network traffic. The service function forwarder forwards the instructions to the classifier.
