Abstract
In one embodiment, a service enabled network (SEN) controller receives, from a control plane of a network service device, service instructions for corresponding network services. The SEN controller may then distribute the service instructions for the network services to appropriate network access devices within the computer network, such that each of the network access devices may correspondingly implement the network services at their respective data planes, thus providing a distributed implementation of the network service within the computer network.
