A method and device for packet processing implemented by a packet processing device is described. The packet processing device is connected to a communication network from which the packet processing device receives and/or transmits packets in a context of network service chaining. The method includes obtaining a set of packets, each packet of the set of packets comprising at least one specific characteristic; grouping the packets of the set of packets according to the at least one specific characteristic, and delivering at least two subsets of packets; and adding, to at least one of the subsets of packets, metadata common to the packets of the at least one subset of packets.
