Hi Satoru, All,

Thank you for the detailed comments and feedback.

New version 24 posted and implements the changes suggested:

  *   In 3.1, revised end-user (UE) sessions to text with PDU sessions.
  *   In 3.3, revised ‘that signaled’ to ‘S-NSSAI signaled.
  *   In 3.2 revised NSSAI to SST:SD (see details in diff).
  *   Also removed reference to RFC 8519 (not used) and revised 
I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit to RFC9834

Hi Satoru,

Thanks, that’s a good catch – you are correct.
It should be SST(8)+SD(24) format of (S-)NSSAI.

I wonder if a notation like below consisting of NSSAI = SST(8):SD(24) would be 
easier to read in the draft.
NSSAI = 000A --> 0x02:0x0A (URLLC service, customer A),
NSSAI = 000B --> 0x01:0x00 (eMBB service, all customers/locations)
NSSAI = 000C --> 0x03:0x0C (MioT service, customer C)

Best Regards,
John

Thanks John,

That sounds good. So the example values denoted as 200A/1000/300C follow 
SST(8)+SD(24) format of (S-)NSSAI. Is that correct?
For me those values look 2 bytes in hex. Where are the remaining 2 bytes? 
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Satoru, All,

Thanks for the review and pointers.

- Section 3.1: Change /end-user (UE) sessions/PDU sessions/ and consider 
describing the meaning of "PDU session" at its first occurrence.
In section 1, PDU session has already been defined “A PDU session in 5G is a 
logical connection that provides a path between a User Equipment (UE) and a 
data network such as the internet”]
Will revise end-user (UE) session to PDU session in 3.1.

- Change /to that signaled for the PDU session/to the S-NSSAI signaled for the 
PDU session/
Will revise.

There is one other change that would help (this is sort of triggered from an LS 
exchange on slices in this November 3GPP meeting):
In 3.2 and 3.3, the example NSSAIs that consist of SST (Service Slice Type) and 
SD (Slice Differentiator) is not accurate. It shows 3 different services A, B, 
C with the same SST (“0” ).
It would be good to revise to realistic services SST = 1 (eMMB), SST = 2 
(URLLC) and SST = 3 (MioT).
That would change the (S-)NSSAI values in Figures 2 and 3 as follows (NSSAI 
consists of SST= 8 bit field, followed by SD =24 bit field)
NSSAI = 000A  --> 200A (URLLC service, customer A),
NSSAI = 000B --> 1000 (eMBB service, all customers/locations)
NSSAI = 000C --> 300C (MioT service, customer C)
This would require some revision in the of 3.2 to align with the above change.
No change in 3.3 other than revising 000B --> 1000.
Note that this is only change of an example in 3.2 and does not in any way 
affect the logic of mapping proposed in the draft (i.e., NSSAI to UDP port 
(range) is a direct map).

If the group agrees, I would like to make this additional change.

Best Regards,
John

Hi John,

Could you please confirm if you plan to address the following specific comments 
from Xavier de Foy?

- Section 3.1: Change /end-user (UE) sessions/PDU sessions/ and consider 
describing the meaning of "PDU session" at its first occurrence.
- Change /to that signaled for the PDU session/to the S-NSSAI signaled for the 
PDU session/

I was unable to find the resolutions for these particular points in the latest 
diff and your slides in the last DMM meeting.

Thanks,
--satoru

2025-10-30)

I support the publication of draft-ietf-dmm-tn-aware-mobility and provide a few 
minor comments below, for the authors' consideration.


- #1: /map a 3GPP slice to a slice in an IP transport network provider/map a 
3GPP slice to a slice in an IP transport network/ -OR- /map a 3GPP slice to an  
IP transport network slice at a provider edge/

- #3.1: /end-user (UE) sessions/PDU sessions/, because the term PDU session is 
used multiple times in the document already.
  - Note: consider expanding the term UE as User Equipment in the first 
occurence of the term in the draft.
  - Note: consider describing the meaning of PDU session at the first occurence 
of the term.

- #3.3: consider adding text to define what EP_transport is. E.g., /3GPP user 
plane nodes (gNB, UPF) are provisioned with GTP transport interface information 
parameters in [TS.28.541-3GPP]./3GPP user plane nodes (gNB, UPF) are 
provisioned with GTP end point transport (EP_transport) interface information 
parameters in [TS.28.541-3GPP]./
- #3.3: a few sentences could be clarified a bit,I try illustrating below a few 
points.
  - "Each EP_Transport is configured with ATTACHMENT_CIRCUIT containing UDP 
source port number/range for each of the slices (S-NSSAI) supported by the 3GPP 
user plane node." Maybe: "Each EP_Transport is configured with an 
ATTACHMENT_CIRCUIT containing UDP source port number/range corresponding to a 
slice (S-NSSAI) supported by the 3GPP user plane node."
  - "This S-NSSAI in the user plane setup can be used to associate with the 
previously configured EP_Transport information per S-NSSAI." Maybe: "This 
S-NSSAI in the user plane setup can be associated with one of the previously 
configured per-S-NSSAI EP_Transport information."
  - /to that signaled for the PDU session/to the S-NSSAI signaled for the PDU 
session/

- #4: About the paragraph "In some E2E scenarios, security is desired 
granularly...", I was wondering if the text could cover something more general 
than security, e.g., "In some E2E scenarios, additional path characteristics 
may be desired in the underlying transport network, such as security 
characteristics.". The rest of the paragraph may be adapted correspondingly, if 
you agree with this comment. One example of non-security characteristic that 
comes to mind is regulatory/legal, e.g., the physical location of the path (and 
this does not need to be spelled out in the text, this is just for illustrating 
where my comment comes from).
- #6: /authenticaiton/authentication/

Xavier

DMMer,

Let me remind you that the mobility-aware transport draft is now in WGLC. It 
will end on Oct. 30, so please review the draft.
You can use this thread to send your feedback.

Cheers,

Subject: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-dmm-tn-aware-mobility-22 (Ends 2025-10-30)

This message starts a 2-week WG Last Call for this document.

Abstract:
   Network slicing in 5G enables logical networks for communication
   services of multiple 5G customers to be multiplexed over the same
   infrastructure.  While 5G slicing covers logical separation of
   various aspects of 5G infrastructure and services, user's data plane
   packets over the Radio Access Network (RAN) and Core Network (5GC)
   use IP in many segments of an end-to-end 5G slice.  When end-to-end
   slices in a 5G System use network resources, they are mapped to
   corresponding IP transport network slice(s) which in turn provide the
   bandwidth, latency, isolation, and other criteria required for the
   realization of a 5G slice.

   This document describes mapping of 5G slices to transport network
   slices using UDP source port number of the GTP-U bearer when the IP
   transport network (slice provider) is separated by an "attachment
   circuit" from the networks in which the 5G network functions are
   deployed, for example, 5G functions that are distributed across data
   centers.  The slice mapping defined here is supported transparently
   when a 5G user device moves across 5G attachment points and session
   anchors.
