Zusammenfassung:A device receives a service graph of feature peers for a packet of an application flow. The feature peers are associated with a network and the service graph includes an ordered set of the feature peers and forwarding requirements for the ordered set of the feature peers. The device generates forwarding instructions based on the service graph. The forwarding instructions include instructions to forward the packet to the ordered set of feature peers. The device provides the forwarding instructions to network devices of the network. The network devices forward the packet of the application flow to the ordered set of feature peers based on the forwarding instructions.
