Hi WG,

I updated this document after some comments on list and off-list reviews from
Eric and Med.

Still not sure whether this ends up as a stand-alone document, but I'm currently
also using it as a repository for text that has been on list and might get
subsumed into the NSH spec at some point.

Feel free to criticise and/or hack at the text.

Adrian

> Abstract:
>    This document describes the use of the Network Service Header (NSH)
>    in a Service Function Chaining (SFC) enabled network with no payload
>    data and only carrying metadata.  This is achieved by defining a new
>    NSH "Next Protocol" type value of "None".
> 
>    This document illustrates some of the functions that may be achieved
>    or enhanced by this mechanism, but it does not provide an exhaustive
>    list of use cases, nor is it intended to be definitive about the
>    functions it describes.  It is expected that other documents will
>    describe specific use cases in more detail and will define the
>    protocol mechanics for each use case.
