3 Signalling aspects

Runtime configuration scenarios may be one of the following:

1) Service route path configuration:
Service atoms chain up the network services. Network services may extend or shrink service
functions by adding or deleting service atoms based on user-defined requirements.

2) Packet handling action configuration:
Network services may enforce different kinds of actions on the packet received. The actions may be
dropping the packet, redirecting the packet to some service-handling servers, specifying the
forwarding path of the packet, modifying some fields of the packet, etc.
3) Other configurations:

This may overlap with the static configurations. The runtime configurations are not the
predetermined defaults.
