Hi Xuesong, Traffic policy for subscribers is managed per PDU session at the UPF (and gNB). GTP-u does provide encapsulation between the end points, but its control fields are meant for conveying control semantics between the GTP endpoints: they were not intended for IP transport/ traffic underlays. 5QI/QCI etc are in the GTP extension header which may not be ideal to lookup to classify each packet in the transport network.
The entity that classifies data packets (upstream at gNB and downstream at UPF-PSA) also inserts the DSCP for that GTP packet. The classification is based on subscriber aspects but may also on be based on its content (e.g., using DPI).

Then what fields in the GTP-u encapsulation indicates the traffic's service requirements? When a GTP-u tunnel goes into a SRv6 policy, according to which fields in the GTP-u encapsulation the DSCP is generated? We know that there are parameters such as 5QI/QCI and QFI, whether they are associated with a GTP-u tunnel?

[Uma]: Obviously, the best reference for GTP-U is TS 29.281. However, uou should look into https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatatracker.ietf.org%2Fdoc%2Fdraft-ietf-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cjohn.kaippallimalil%40futurewei.com%7C77632db844b34a8e561108d8bdb38cb8%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C0%7C637467926158632424%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=5nVGUJhkHBn7FWHUCFPC4lGhwr6lBqtIWNyY1o0dxsg%3D&reserved=0> where lot more details and other references related this topic was analyzed (primarily started after/during REL-15, when any other use plane other than GTP-U is worthwhile is debated for 5G N9 interface). I think when the packet tunneled by GTP-u traverses the APN-based transport network, it may be mapped to the corresponding tunnel according to the user and application requirements to implement the uniform service. If you are familiar with the principle of GTP-u in the mobile core, please help provide some details.
