Hello Sri and others

I have reservations for the adaption of this document to WG draft.
It is not clear how what is the relevance of this draft to IETF lesser to the 
3GPP. To what IETF or DMM WG documents this work would contribute? For example 
if you look at section 1.2 "Our Way of Analysis Work" of the draft, you find 
that all the referenced and analyzed documents are 3GPP documents. How is this 
meaningful to the IETF?

Please note also the following sentence in the same section of the draft that 
scopes the draft: "Based on the results of above, we identify some aspects 
where there might be gap between the current user plane protocol and the 
architectural requirements on which [TR.29.891-3GPP] does not discuss.  " The 
scope of the draft is CLEARLY 3GPP architecture, not of DMM WG nor any other 
IETF work. The draft goes on stating that it would be part of a reply to 3GPP. 
But didn't we already have this replay? Which reply the document is 
anticipating?  In other words it is not clear how DMM WG plans to contribute to 
the 3GPP work beyond the liaison statement. I think that how this document 
contributes to the IETF and particularly to the DMM WG should be answered in 
the document before even considering any adoption. Currently as it stands the 
document  is targeting to another SDO, not the IETF. 3GPP should have the 
adoption call in my view.

Particularly the discussion around slicing is very speculative. And conclusion 
thereof that "The expected evaluation points from this aspect should be whether 
the candidate protocols can support to indicate a network slice in the UP 
packets." Firstly, IETF doesn't have any work on slicing, on the contrary. 
Secondly, the need for such indication in the 3GPP has been discussed in the 
ongoing 3GPP CT4 meeting this week with fully opposing views for such network 
slice indication. (Network slicing is supported in 3GPP Rel-15 already, and 
nothing new was defined in the user plane in Rel-15. There was no need for 
that!)



Best regards

Subject: [DMM] Call for adoption of draft-hmm-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis-02 as DMM 
WG document

Folks:

During IETF 102 and 103, the authors of the document, 
draft-hmm-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis.txt have provided the overview of this 
document. The chairs felt there is good amount of work that went into the 
document and the analysis has value. The document quality is very high. There 
was also generally good feedback and interest for the work from the community. 
We are therefore considering adopting this document as a DMM WG document, to be 
moved on Informational Standards track.

There were also few concerns/comments on the 1.) Relevance of this document to 
3GPP in the immediate time frame 2.) Archival Value of the document 3.) Target 
Audience  - IETF or 3GPP.
On #3, there was also a view that the document should be restructured to make 
it IETF focussed.  With this background, we would like to ask the WG to provide 
some feedback on their interest for this work. Please provide substantial 
comments as why this should be adopted, or why it should not be adopted. If 
there is interest, and if there are no other concerns from AD/IESG/Others, then 
we may take up this work at some point.

Draft Pointer: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hmm-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis-02


The adoption call will end on 4th of December, 2019.

Regards
Dapping & Sri
