Hi Folks,

We have submitted a draft discussing about the use case of service chaining as below. This may help people to understand the use of service chain. Your comments are highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Abstract:
   For some network services, traffic is forwarded through a sequence of
   network functions, which usually have dedicated capabilities other
   than forwarding, e.g. firewall.  Forwarding of traffic along a
   sequence of service processing functions is usually based on service
   characteristics, but not destination addresses.  We call such way of
   forwarding as service chaining.  This memo describes use cases of
   service chaining.
