“…In all cases, a Classifier function at the ingress to the network must be instructed how to map packets to a specific chain: this may be a management operation using, for example, a YANG model; or it may use extensions to the PCE communications Protocol (PCEP) such as those suggested in the IETF's PCE working group. [11] Once the Classifier has been programmed it can start encapsulating packets to traverse the service function chain. This may involve adding an NSH, applying MPLS labels, or adding an SR instruction list.…”

In this invited paper we examine the role of Service Function Chaining (SFC) and Network Slicing in providing support for emerging 5G services as data is carried across backhaul and metro networks. The way in which backhaul and metro networks are managed and operated affects the ability of those networks to support a wide range of services that will be enabled by 5G connectivity. Those services will place exacting demands on the bandwidth, delay bounds, and jitter delivered to users, but may vary significantly over relatively short time periods. SFC and Network Slicing offer opportunities for software-driven coordination of network resources to marshal them so as to best deliver the network behaviour that will support the demands of the services. We present the latest proposals towards standardisation of SFC and Network Slicing in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and discuss how these concepts are applied in optical networks through the Metro-Haul project.
