This specification presents an optional method to add integrity
protection directly to the Network Service Header (NSH) used for
Service Function Chaining (SFC). Also, this specification allows for
the encryption of sensitive metadata (MD) that is carried in the NSH.

This document is a product of the Service Function Chaining Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
