www.radisys.com FlowEngine—Service Delivery Benefits for Carrier Networks S E RV I C E F U N C T I O N C H A I N I N G ( S F C ) The need for rapid service creation and on-demand scaling requires a solution that can help compose services by chaining network functions. The FlowEngine enables core network agility through Service Function Chaining (SFC), an architectural tenet which helps achieve these goals: • Programming through control plane using OpenFlow • Dynamically created SFC – independent of network topology and type of packet header (NSH / non-NSH) • Deployment of services as per demand, add/remove new service functions without disruption • SFC with high throughput and low latency L OA D B A L A N C I N G Network scale requires flexible and efficient load balancing between Virtual Network Functions. The FlowEngine provides enhanced load balancing capabilities to meet service delivery needs. The FlowEngine implements efficient load balancing algorithms to provide operators programmable access to load balancing policies and access control rules. This applies equally to control plane and data plane load balancing in the network.
