the system responsible for maintaining and managing service routing information to create forwarding paths for queries/invocation requests from users and other service instances to be resolved or forwarded to execution zones containing available running instances of the specified service.

Abstract
This chapter introduces a new paradigm for service centric networking. Building upon recent proposals in the area of information centric networking, a similar treatment of services – where networked software functions, rather than content, are dynamically deployed, replicated and invoked – is discussed. Service-centric networking provides the mechanisms required to deploy replicated service instances across highly distributed networked cloud infrastructures and to route client requests to the closest instance while providing more efficient network infrastructure usage, improved QoS and new business opportunities for application and service providers.
