Abstract

This document discusses considerations related to passing host- and subscriber-related information to upstream Service Functions for the sake of policy enforcement and appropriate SFC-inferred forwarding. Once the information is consumed by SFC-aware functional elements, the information is stripped from packets so that privacy-sensitive information is not leaked outside an SFC-enabled domain.
