    摘要: A system for selectively applying a service to a packet in a network. In a specific embodiment, the system includes a mechanism for encoding service information in a network-compatible packet header and providing encoded data in response thereto. In a more specific embodiment, the network-compatible header includes a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) header, a Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) header, and/or a Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) header.

    摘要: A generic service node that operates in a first state while waiting for instructions to adopt a specific service. Upon receiving the instructions, the generic service node operates in a second state where the node installs software received from a network to enable the generic service node to provide the specific service to the network. The generic service node is in communication with a control node or nodes such that the generic service node can be adapted to provide a particular service as requested by the control node(s).

    摘要: As described herein, explicit service ordering information may be associated with each of a plurality of logical services in a service path. A unique sequence number, for example, may be assigned, and associated with each service in the path. The sequence number may be assigned by a service broker in the control plane of a service insertion architecture that provides a platform-independent framework to insert services into a network. The sequence number may represent the relative ordering of the service with respect to the other services in the path. The sequence number, along with a traffic classification identifier, constitutes the shared context that is tagged to the packet injected into the chain which is used in the SIA data plane to virtualize and uniquely select series of services defined in the policy.
