The efficiency of Service Function Chain (SFC) depends closely on where functions are deployed and how to select paths for data transmission. For the problem of SFC deployment in a resource-constrained network, this paper proposes an optimization algorithm for SFC deployment based on the Longest Effective Function Sequence (LEFS). To optimize function deployment and bandwidth requirement jointly, the upper bound of path length is set and relay nodes are searched incrementally on the basis of LEFS until the service request is satisfied. Simulation results show that, the proposed algorithm can balance network resource and optimize the function deploymen rate and bandwidth utilization. Compared with other algorithms, the utilization of network resource decreases 10%, so that more service requests can be supported. What is more, the algorithm has a lower computation complexity and can response to service requests quickly.
