Abstract:
A network node in a service function chaining system receives a media stream from an endpoint device. The media stream is associated with a media session between the endpoint and at least one other endpoint. The network node determines a path for the media stream. The path includes an ordered list of functions to process the media stream. The network node determines a session identifier for the media stream and encapsulates the media stream with a header. The header includes an indication of the path and the session identifier.
