Abstract
Aspects of the disclosed technology address the problems of manually identifying and optimizing service function chaining (SFC) performance in response to changes in traffic profiles. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes monitoring, by a first network component, incoming data packets; detecting, by the first network component, a change in a traffic profile of the incoming data packets; generating, by the first network component, in-band information on changes in the traffic profile; and transmitting, by the first network component, the in-band information with one or more data packets of the incoming data packets, the in-band information being used by a second network component to adjust one or more corresponding settings for servicing the incoming data packets.
