Hi all,

The root causes for the host identification issue are address sharing and presence of tunnels. Host ID is used to identified a host due to address sharing.
In SFC scenario, SFC ID(SF Chain Identifier) identifies an SF Chain and metadata provides contextual information about the data packets which traverse a service chain.
So my question is that can SFC ID together with metadata also be used to solve issues due to address sharing?
