Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for fulfilling a service chain request. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to collect network data of a plurality of instances of services and connections between the plurality of instances of services and redefine service chains to direct flow to an alternative instance of a service responsive to determining that an instance of a service in a service chain has become inaccessible. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to fulfill a service chain request and avoid one or more instances of services (and/or connections there between) that could cause a delay between transmitting data packets through the service chain.

Claim (Index 16):
The computer system of  claim 15 , wherein the program instructions to, responsive to determining that an instance of a service in the first service chain is inaccessible, dynamically redefine the first service chain to direct flow to an alternative instance of the service comprise:\n program instructions to invalidate the inaccessible instance of the service in the first service chain; program instructions to exclude the inaccessible instance of the service in the first service chain from future service chain calculations; and program instructions to identify an alternative instance of the service in the plurality of instances of services.
