This document describes requirements for conveying information between Service Function Chaining (SFC) control elements (including management components) and SFC functional elements. Also, this document identifies a set of control interfaces to interact with SFC- aware elements to establish, maintain or recover service function chains. This document does not specify protocols nor extensions to existing protocols. This document exclusively focuses on SFC deployments that are under the responsibility of a single administrative entity. Inter-domain considerations are out of scope.
