Abstract
The disclosed technology relates to forwarding a packet in a network. The packet is received at a node, where the packet is encapsulated by a network service header (NSH) including a service path header that identifies a service path. The service path is associated with a treatment value that directs subsequent nodes to treat the encapsulated NSH packet with a quality of service treatment. A forwarding table stored in the node is evaluated to identify the service path and the treatment value of the encapsulated NSH packet and a quality of service treatment is determined for the encapsulated NSH packet. The encapsulated NSH packet is forwarded to the subsequent nodes based on the service path indicated in the forwarding table and in accordance with the quality of service treatment corresponding to the treatment value identified in the forwarding table.
