[Uma]: Yes. This is much debated and documented in
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-dmm-tn-aware-mobility
            The approach taken there is management plane or AF related
changes (as opposed to any change in the 3GPP control plane). These are by
definition deployment specific and many
            deployments have knobs to do this.

[Uma]: For many "LTE slicing" (if I may allow to be used, as it has become
sort of abusive word) deployments today use UDP source port as those nodes
can't be upgraded with new  data planes with many bells and whistles (it's
noble, please go ahead and  use those and let gNodeBs emit those
eventually). And also remember,  it doesn't help to put that information in
GTP overlay (IEs or extension headers), for the ingress PE to look into to
and act accordingly. All these options were discussed many times in the DMM
WG and was presented last year.

The reference to any IETF draft would not help if functionality is needed
