Abstract
A method is implemented by a computing device to monitor the performance of packet processing in an in-line service chain. The computing device is in communication with a plurality of network devices forming a software defined network (SDN) and the in-line service chain. The SDN includes a controller implemented by the computing device to configure the plurality of network devices. The plurality of devices includes a set of switches monitoring packets traversing the in-line service chain including at least one service.
