Sample Service Function Chaining Network Topologies
In a general service function chaining (SFC) topology, two
service functions (SFs) of different types are attached to a service function forwarder
(SFF).

There are two types of topologies for
these types of SFs:
- Network service header (NSH)-unaware SFs of typeIPandPoolon an external network.
- NSH-aware SFs of typeIPandPoolon an external network, and an NSH-aware SF of typeVirtualon an internal network.
