The IESG has received a request from the Service Function Chaining WG (sfc)
to consider the following document: - 'Network Service Header (NSH)'
  <draft-ietf-sfc-nsh-18.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
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-08-25. 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


   This document describes a Network Service Header (NSH) inserted onto
   packets or frames to realize service function paths.  NSH also
   provides a mechanism for metadata exchange along the instantiated
   service paths.  NSH is the SFC encapsulation required to support the
   Service Function Chaining (SFC) architecture (defined in RFC7665).
