Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your answer!

Does this mean that the SFC architecture is allowing the use of different Service Function Chaining Header (SFC encapsulation) formats?

I am referring to the different SFC encapsulation formats that are discussed in section 5 of the following ID:
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-boucadair-sfc-design-analysis-03.txt

Best regards,
Georgios
