I disagree. This term is all over in the IETF documents. It is not limited to any particular wg as such. 
Please have a look at for example:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wu-opsawg-service-model-explained-05

Service Function Chaining (SFC) Architecture
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7665#page-15

and the whole set of documents from the sfc wg.

Problem Statement: Overlays for Network Virtualization uses term functionality, not "boxes"
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7364.txt
  Overlay gateway functionality could be combined with other network
   functionality into a network device that implements the overlay
   functionality and then forwards traffic between other internal
   components that implement functionality such as full router service,
   load balancing, firewall support, VPN gateway, etc.

Can you show the otherwise?

No, it's very specific to a certain culture.  Other cultures would use
different terms -- the Iron Age "Seven Layers" culture would say "BANANA
Service", the Broze Age "Internet" culture would say "BANANA Protocol",
while the Neolithic "ARPANET" culture would say "BANANA Program".
