Abstract:
This application discloses a service chain fault detection method and an apparatus. The method includes: determining, by a service forwarding entity (SFE), to communicate with a first service function (SF) node on a service chain after obtaining a first fault tracing detection request packet, wherein the first fault tracing detection request packet comprises a path identifier (ID), and the path ID is used to identify a path of the service chain; obtaining, by the SFE, an ID of the first SF node; and sending, by the SFE, a first fault tracing detection response packet to the device for initiating fault detection, wherein the first fault tracing detection response packet comprises the path ID and the ID of the first SF node.

Claim (Index 10):
The service forwarding apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the processor is instructed to:\n determine, based on the path ID, to forward the first fault tracing detection request packet by using a first forwarding entry, wherein the first forwarding entry comprises the path ID and an address of the first SF node; send the first fault tracing detection request packet to the first SF node based on the address of the first SF node; and receive a second fault tracing detection request packet from the first SF node, wherein the second fault tracing detection request packet comprises the path ID.
