Summary: Service function chaining (SFC) leverages network virtualization and software-defined networking technologies to abstract originally discrete and fixed network functions into programmable virtual network functions. Since service functions are often distributed across different virtualized environments or physical nodes, the service orchestration system tends to have high complexity and numerous dependencies, which can easily lead to issues such as unbalanced resource allocation, abnormal service paths, or performance bottlenecks. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the service orchestration of SFCs to evaluate their deployment effectiveness and support the operation, management, and maintenance of SFCs. This Recommendation provides monitoring parameters for service function orchestration based on service function chaining, and ensures the availability and service experience of SFCs.
