	 <t>   Service Function Chaining (SFC) provides a flexible way to construct
   services.  When applying a particular service function chain to the
   traffic, the traffic needs to be steered through an ordered set of
   service functions in the network.  This ordered set of service
   functions in the network, referred to as a Service Function Path
   (SFP), is an instantiation of the service function chain in the
   network.  Segment Routing (SR) technique can be leveraged to steer
   the traffic through the SFP in SR networks.  This document describes
   a PCE-based SFC architecture in which the PCE is used to compute a
   service function path (i.e., instantiate a service function chain) in
   SR networks.
