Hi Robert,

I read this draft and understand the mechanism. My question is that, in the service chaining,  it is rare that the route origin has the service chain knowledge and determines the service chain for the packets delivered to it. It is often that the source of the forwarder or some controller has the knowledge and makes the service chain decision on the packets delivered to a certain destination.

Thus, does the source forwarding point needs to advertise the route on behalf of the route origin to make it work?  Will this create some problem?

Thanks,
Lucy
