Abstract
Presented herein are service chaining techniques for selective traffic redirection based on Access Control List (ACL) configurations on switches. Network traffic forwarded along one or more service chains may be monitored on the basis of individual segments of the service chains. In one example, the network traffic forwarded along individual segments may be counted on a per-segment basis.
