Abstract
A network device sends, via a first port of the network device and to a server device, first traffic, wherein the server device provides a NFV service line card of the network device, and wherein the first traffic is at least one of first management plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, first control plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, or first data plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card. The network device receives, via a second port of the network device and from the server device, second traffic, wherein the second traffic is at least one of second management plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, second control plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, or second data plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card.
