One additional comments I have is it looks what you specified is not service chaining info but per service function info, Also the terminology specified in the draft is not consistent with what is specified in the sfc documents. E.g., is service node referred to as service function node or service function? One trouble I have shall we bake the service chaining info into service topo? In my understanding, service function can be discovered by using service topo, service function chaining can also be created or composed by using service topo. Baking service chaining info into service topo may cause lots of update to service topo when any change happens to one or many service chains.

Also in the same section, In all cases, if the state is not kept in a persistent storage on the forwarding system(s), system reboot actions will trigger the need for a high provisioning rate, on the order at few thousands per second. That is to be expected, as device coming up with previous state, it can't know if the policies are still valid. Example, two subscribers with different policies have updated their IP address port combinations and wrong policies are applied to their traffic.
