The S/Gi-LAN is the network segment between the core packet gateways and the Internet—and it’s here that service providers deploy unique value-added service (VAS) capabilities to monetize, innovate, and differentiate from their competitors. Value-added services improve the quality of the customer experience by controlling traffic based on user profiles, network policies, and application characteristics.
Value-added services control traffic flows by using multiple service functions that may include firewalls, deep packet inspection, HTTP header enrichment, transparent caching, URL filtering, parental controls, load balancing, carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT), and TCP and/or video optimizations. An ordered list of these service functions is known as a service function chain.
