Dynamically modifying a service chain based on network traffic information

Abstract:

A device may receive information associated with a service chain to be implemented in association with a flow. The information associated with the service chain may include a source network address associated with the flow, a destination network address associated with the flow, a set of protocols associated with the flow, and a set of network services, of the service chain, to be implemented in association with the flow. The device may implement the service chain in association with the flow. The device may receive network traffic information associated with the flow based on implementing the service chain in association with the flow. The device may modify the service chain based on the network traffic information associated with the flow to permit a modified service chain to be implemented in association with the flow.
