Hi Joel, all,

I'm afraid that including "Service Function Availability" into the scope of this document is a little bit challenging. Assessing that a given SF is responsive (from a connectivity standpoint) and is providing the service it is expected to provide is an interesting problem to address but it is IMHO beyond the chaining matters. 

I would declare those aspects as out if scope. 

Cheers,
Med
