Abstract: In an example, a hierarchical chaining gateway (hCG) includes a first communication interface corresponding to a first domain using a first chaining protocol, and a second communication interface corresponding to a second domain using a second and different chaining protocol. The hCG receives a service packet including a first service function chain header via the first communication interface. The hCG also identifies a key identifier in the service packet, and retrieves a second service function chain header based on the key identifier. Then, the hCG transforms the service packet by substituting the first service function chain header corresponding to first domain in the service packet with the second service function chain header corresponding to the second domain. Next, the hCG transmits the service packet including the second service function chain header via the second communication interface corresponding to the second domain.

Abstract: An OpenFlow switch routes a data packet to a next hop using tables. One or more direction tables are used to determine whether the packet is part of an upstream service chain, part of a downstream service chain, or is to be forwarded in a destination-based manner.

Abstract translation: OpenFlow交换机使用表将数据包路由到下一跳。 使用一个或多个方向表来确定分组是否是上游服务链的一部分，下游服务链的一部分，或者将以基于目的地的方式转发。
