Abstract
Techniques for enabling service insertion using dynamic service path selection are described herein. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to avoiding a service route that passes through a service router when the second-leg path from the service router to a destination router is unreachable. In some cases, the techniques described herein relate to avoiding a route that includes a service router that does not have a path to a viable target in a core service region.
