Service Function Chaining Architecture for Multi-hop Split Inference and Learning
Service Function Chaining (SFC) is a networking technique that ensures traffic traverses a predefined sequence of service functions, realizing arbitrary network services through dynamic and efficient communication paths. Inspired by this concept, we propose an SFC-based architecture for Multi-hop Split Inference (MSI), where split sub-models are interpreted as service functions and their composition forms a service chain representing the global model. By leveraging SFC, the proposed architectur…
