Abstract
In general, techniques are described for providing feedback loops for service engineered paths. A service node comprising an interface and a control unit may implement the techniques. The interface receives traffic via a path configured within a network to direct the traffic from an ingress network device of the path to the service node. The control unit applies one or more services to the traffic received via the path and generates service-specific information related to the application of the one or more services to the traffic. The interface then sends the service-specific information to at least one network device configured to forward the traffic via the path so that the at least one network device configured to forward the traffic via the path is able to adapt the path based on the service-specific information.
