Problems solved by technology

In addition, triple content-addressable memory (TCAM) commonly used in SDN logic chains has design limitations and is very expensive
Some current methods are also difficult to deal with SFC Spiral, where a single logical business chain adopts the same business function multiple times

Abstract

A self-contained service function network layer between a chain (e.g., a logical chain or service function chain) and a substrate network is described. And techniques are provided for constructing logical chains for service function networks using chain tables, organizing chain tables using APIs, deploying service function networks to substrate networks, routing packets through a service function network and a substrate network, and inserting, deleting, re-routing, moving and substituting service functions in logical chains.

Description

[0001] Related Applications Cross Application [0002] This application requires U.S. Serial No. 14 / 596,546, filed January 14, 2015, entitled "HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE METHODOLOGIES FOR CREATING AND MANAGING PORTABLE SERVICE FUNCTION CHAINS" Priority to an earlier non-provisional patent application, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the invention generally relate to the field of computer networks. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to hardware and software methods for implementing and maintaining logical service chains in computer networks. Background technique [0004] Logical service function chains (SFC) provide ordered service functions (SF) (eg, firewall, network address translation, intrusion detection, proxy services, etc.) to add valuable services to the network and its users. In most network designs and deployments, network functions are configured as physical network element...
