Service function chaining techniques are a recent development. The current state of the art shows that the first developments of this service function chaining technique were based on manufacturer-specific approaches. Today, the list of service functions is statically configured. This static configuration operation consists of entering all the descriptive information for each SF function (or SF instance) in a file local to the PDP (so-called "full configuration" mode), or just the list of SF identifiers (so-called "partial configuration" mode).
