Description
Is calico planning to support Service function chaining for bare-metal Kubernetes deployment?
VPP which is also the dataplane for Network Service Mesh NSM supports Policy-driven service function chaining.
SFC is a key technology for certain Telco workloads and there are not many CNIs in K8s ecosystem that supports SFC.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked OpenStack Service Function Chaining documentation and the Network Service Mesh reference, then inspect the vpp-dataplane repository's current bare-metal Kubernetes networking entry points. The issue is complete when Calico's VPP dataplane either supports policy-driven SFC for that deployment or documents a concrete limitation and implementation plan.
