Active Operations, Administration, and Maintenance for Service Function Chaining

Abstract
A set of requirements for active Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) for Service Function Chaining (SFC) in a network is presented in this document. Based on these requirements, an encapsulation of active OAM messages in SFC and a mechanism to detect and localize defects are described.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
