Abstract

A system comprises a gateway computer further comprising a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine one or more service functions (SF) based on a received data packet, and to determine a list of routing identifiers based on the determined service functions and a destination of the data packet. Each routing identifier identifies at least one of a router computer and a service function. The memory stores instructions to update the data packet to include the list of routing identifiers, and to transmit the updated data packet based on the list of routing identifiers.
