Abstract
An example data center system includes server devices hosting data of a first tenant and a second tenant of the data center, network devices of an interconnected topology coupling the server devices including respective service virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) tables, and one or more service devices that communicatively couple the network devices, wherein the service devices include respective service VRF tables for the first set of server devices and the second set of server devices, and wherein the service devices apply services to network traffic flowing between the first set of server devices and the second set of server devices using the first service VRF table and the second service VRF table.
