The first consolidation attempts targeted application layer (e.g., deep packet inspection) service chain of NFs. Packets in a traffic class are all processed the same way. SNF handles stateful NFs. Using its understanding of each of the per-traffic class chains, SNF then synthesizes equivalent, high-performance NFs for each of the traffic classes. Offloading traffic classification to a commodity OpenFlow switch allows SNF to realize realistic ISP-level chains at 40 Gbps (for most of the frame sizes), while bounding the median the service level where multiple NFs can be chained, we define a TCU as a set of packets, operator uses to specify a service chain to be synthesized by SNF.
