Abstract:
   This draft investigates possibilities to use so-called 'transport-
   derived service function forwarders' (tSFFs) that ignore the SFC
   encapsulation, using instead existing transport information for
   explicit service path information. The draft discusses two such
   possibilities. In the first one, the transport network is SDN-based.
   The second one introduces and explains a specific service request
   routing (SRR) function to support URL-level routing of service
   requests.
