the computational entity running in an execution zone that is able to score and rate the execution zone and the execution points within that execution zone on various aspects of the service manifest – for example availability of specialised hardware, network and computational metrics for QoS estimation, the performance measured to nearby service instances.

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.
