Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor. The logic is configured to cause the processor to receive one or more packets to be switched to a next hop, the one or more packets indicating a destination address and a first virtual network identifier (VNID). The logic is also configured to cause the processor to send a query to a controller in order to determine a service chain for the one or more packets, the query including the first VNID and the destination address. Moreover, the logic is configured to cause the processor to receive a response that includes the next hop and a next routed hop for the one or more packets. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in accordance with more embodiments.
