Abstract:
   Long-lived flows such as file transfers, video streams are common in
   today's networks. In the context of service function chaining, this
   draft suggests use cases for dynamic bypass of certain service
   functions for such flows. The benefit of this approach would be to
   avoid expensive Layer 7 service function processing for such flows
   based on dynamic decisions and thus improve overall performance.
