The IESG has received a request from the Service Function Chaining WG (sfc) to consider the following document: - 'Network Service Header Metadata Type 2 Variable-Length Context Headers' <draft-ietf-sfc-nsh-tlv-08.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2021-09-28. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Service Function Chaining (SFC) uses the Network Service Header (NSH) (RFC 8300) to steer and provide context Metadata (MD) with each packet. Such Metadata can be of various Types including MD Type 2 variable length context headers. This document specifies several such context headers that can be used within a service function path. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sfc-nsh-tlv/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
