 	abstract = "Service Function Chaining (SFC) is an important research field in networking area with many encapsulation and forwarding mechanisms being proposed. To implement SFC, non-standard forwarding methods are used which break the mechanism of regular network troubleshooting tools, challenging the detection of SFC misconfiguration or performance degradation. This work presents the SFC Path Tracer, a tool for roubleshooting SFC in NFV/SDN environments. This tool enables the identification of problems in the SFC environment by generating packet trace and computing intra-hop delays from a specific SFC path. SFC Path Tracer is agnostic regarding the SFC encapsulation and forwarding mechanisms being effective to detect most problems in an SFC environment.",
