Abstract:
   Network Service Header (NSH) protocol defines the Service Function
   Chaining (SFC) encapsulation required to support the Service Function
   Chaining (SFC) Architecture.  One of the components of the Network
   Service Header (NSH) protocol is the Service Path Identifier (SPI),
   which identifies a service path, another important element of the NSH
   protocol is the Service Index (SI), which provides location within
   the Service Path.

   When Service Providers would like to deliver customized services
   offers requiring Service Functions Chains, a different service chain
   may be required for each subscriber or group of subscribers.  In
   order to simplify the service provisioning in this scenario, it would
   be useful to be able to associate the Service Path Identifier (SPI),
   identifying the service chain, and the appropriate Service Index
   (SI), identifying the location in the service path, with the customer
   profile.

   In some Broadband networks, the customer profile information may be
   stored in Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)
   servers.  This document specifies two new Remote Authentication Dial-
   In User Service (RADIUS) attributes to carry the Service Path
   Identifier (SPI) and the Service Index (SI).
