	 <t>   Service Function Chain architecture leads to more adaptive network
   nodes. It allows splitting the network function into fine-grained
   build blocks --- service function, and combining the network
   functions into service function chain to formulate complicated
   services. Further, the service function chain should be instantiated
   by selecting the optimal instance from the candidates for each
   service function in it. This document discusses the required
   components during the instantiation of service function chain in the
   network.
