Subject: RE: Comment on SRv6-mobile-userplane

Hi Pablo,

>As I already clarified in my previous email, the proposal of

Great. Thanks.

Sure.

Btw, you responded to Arash’s comments addressing me.

Some parts of the draft already maintained that independence with SRv6 features 
in underlay (for example Section 5.3).
In summary if you could address:


1.      Section 5.1 Traditional mode (Tom’s comment on terminology and IP-in-IP 
with no relation to SR?)

PC1: Tom, please read 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-filsfils-spring-srv6-network-programming-05#section-3
PC1: It might be IP-in-IP as long as the inner header is not Ethernet or 
Unstructured PDUs (3GPP PDU types).
PC1: When its IP-in-IP the destination address is an SRv6 SID and is processed 
differently at the destination than an interface address. See 4.8-4.12 of 
draft-filsfils-srv6-network-programming.


2.      Section 5.2 Enhanced mode. Here SR path steering features are used

PC1: The enhanced mode exemplifies the case where a given provider wants to 
leverage SR for the overlay (as in Traditional mode but with session 
aggregation -see next note-; but also SP wants to leverage SR for underlay 
control and service programming.
PC1: In such example, the gNB can steer incoming traffic into an SR policy that 
contains SID for these three things. The benefit of this use-case is that the 
provider achieves end-to-end network slicing, spanning N3, N6, N9 as well as 
the transport network.
PC1: Notice that there might be different cases
1.- Overlay with session aggregation
2.- Overlay with session aggregation and underlay TE
3.- Overlay with session aggregation, underlay TE and service programming
4.- Overlay with session aggregation and service programming

and not fully described what happens to TEID (as GTP is gone).
PC1: Enhanced mode uses PDU session aggregation. There is not a single TEID per 
PDU Session. Instead, several PDU Sessions are aggregated. The set of sessions 
aggregated are still identified by the SID (in 5.2.1 corresponds to SID U2::1)
PC1: Each set of aggregated sessions uses a different SRv6 SID.
PC1: This is the main difference in between traditional mode and enhanced mode.
PC1: The aggregation is similar for the other proposals discussed in 
draft-bogineni-dmm-optimized-mobile-user-plane


3.      And if TEID after GTP removal is encoded in each SID in the SRH or this 
is only specific to some PDU session as you indicated in your first email.

PC1: In the traditional mode, the TEID for each PDU Session is encoded as an 
SRv6 SID. This can be done by two means, either by directly encoding the TEID 
in the SRv6 SID, or by using a unique SRv6 SID for each TEID (one-to-one 
mapping in between SRv6 SID and TEID). (feedback is welcome on preferred option)
PC1: In the enhanced mode, several PDU sessions are aggregated. All the set of 
aggregated sessions share the same SRv6 SID. A different set of aggregated 
sessions uses a different SRv6 SID.

Thx!
