    Abstract: An example, a computing system includes a processor, and a non-transitory medium storing instructions thereon. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to: receive a packet comprising a machine access control (MAC) source address, and determine, based on a first field of bits of the source MAC address, a service function chain identifier corresponding to a service function chain for the packet. The instructions further cause the processor to: determine, based on a second field of bits of the MAC address, a service function index corresponding to a service function for the packet, determine, based on a third field of bits of the source MAC address, a tunnel identifier corresponding to a tunnel for the packet, and determine, based on a fourth field of bits of the source MAC address, an action value for the packet.
