Re: [DMM] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane-01.txt
Satoru, Thanks for the responses. In the Enhanced mode - section 5.2, it is still not clear (if or) how multiple UPFs on path would be programmed. 23.501, 5.6.4 discusses about a single PDU session with multiple PDU Session anchors. What would the SR path look like: gNB --> UPF1 --> UPF2 (2 segments), or would UPF1 fns (ULCL/branching point) be somehow programmed at the source (gNB/UPF2): - how would filters at ULCL UPF be programmed to steer traffic to local DN. - similarly branching point UPF for traffic measurement, charging, LI, multi-homing. Would be good to address it in the draft.

For instance, there's a 135 variants of GTP-U! I sincerely doubt all of those variants are equally relevant and used. Similarly, I don't understand why there's 67 variants of ILA that would be needed. IMO, this is making those protocols look much more complicated than they actually are. It would be nice to have a good summary and fair comparison of the overheads of these various protocols. Here are some suggestions to clean this up: - Pick a handful of representative formats, maybe something like five, and do an an equivalent comparison. For instance, it should be easy to deduce the equivalent packet formats for traditional mode in SR that are needed for GTP and ILA. - Don't count the outer Ethernet header as overhead. It's always there and not counted against MTU. - Don't use colors to highlight differences. The use of 'red' in the spreadsheet is subjective and also confusing in itself. For instance, I don't understand why 'No SRH' (line 1) is black but basic GTP over IPv4 (line 5) is red when they are both reported to have 58 bytes of overhead. - Is the math is off? For instance, in line 1 the overhead is an IPv6 header and and Ethernet header, shouldn't that be 40+14=54 instead of 58? Tom > >> >> 3.

Right. It’s equivalent with GTP-U case where there’s no N9 along the path. One significant difference between GTP-U and enhanced mode is that the packets of PDU sessions which belong to a same SR policy will use same set of SIDs in the header. > > 2.

Re: [DMM] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane-01.txt
Dear Satoru, I am Sridhar Bhaskaran - 3GPP CT4 delegate. In addition to John's questions, I have few more questions for clarification. 1. Section 5.2.2 of the draft says, UPF2_in : (Z,A) -> UPF2 maps the flow w/ SID list <C1,S1, gNB> When the packet arrives to the UPF2, the UPF2 will map that particular flow into a UE session. Does this mean the UPF2 is aware of the gNB the UE is latched on and hence after each mobility, the information regarding current gNB is signaled / programmed till the UPF2 (which could be the PDU session anchor UPF)? 2. For traditional mode (basic mode), could you please elaborate on the MTU overhead being less than GTPU? GTPU encap MTU overhead = 20 octets outer IPv4 header + 8 octets UDP header + 12 octets GTPU header + Extension header for QFI. SRv6 encap MTU overhead = 40 octets IPv6 header + EH for carrying QFI (this part is not clear - see my next question). In your blog https://blog.apnic.net/2018/03/07/reducing-complexity-5g-networks-using-segment-routing-ipv6/ I noticed in Fig.1 the MPLS / TE headers included in calculation. So does the MTU overhead saving talked about for SRv6 assume that underlay TE technologies are replaced? It is not clear from the draft. If there are any other drafts that provide a clear calculation on the MTU savings, could you please point to them? 3. How to encode QFI, RQI in SRv6 (both traditional mode and enhanced mode)? In GTPU the QFI/RQI markings are carried in a GTPU extension header, defined as a container.

Re: [DMM] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane-01.txt
A few questions for clarification: 1. Section 5.1.1, "..Since there is only one SID, there is no need to push an SRH..." In this case the outer IPv6 address representing a SID would contain a TEID. So for 1000 PDU sessions - would there be as many IPv6 addresses (representing SIDs/TEID in the outer header) 2. Section 5.2 (& Figure 3), suppose there were more than 1 UPF on path (gNB --> UPF1 --> UPF2 as in the example in 5.1 but now with other fns - S1, C1) Would the SR path at gNB (uplink) be (a) the list of SIDs to chain functions along the path to UPF1, or, would it be (b) the list of SIDs to chain functions, plus UPF1, .. upto the anchor UPF2. 3. Section 5.2, "The SR policy MAY include SIDs for traffic engineering and service chaining ..." 3GPP service chaining is at N6 interface, but in this case, is the policy for traffic steering implemented at the N3 interface. Would PCF/SMF provision this at gNB. Thanks, John -Original Message- From: Satoru Matsushima [mailto:satoru.matsush...@gmail.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 7.

So in traditional mode this would just use simple IPIP encapsulation in path towards a mobile node. Conceptually, ILA could be applied int his case to eliminate the encapsulation overhead. That is an interesting possibility, although since SR is not involved in traditional mode the association with SR in the name might be a bit confusing to the reader ;-). I haven't completely thought through possibility of using ILA in enhanced mode, but it conceivable that ILA could be used on segments.For instance, the SIDs themselves might be virtual nodes, and ILA could be used to map them in to real devices at each hop. > Any solution other than SRv6 requires an independent layer for underlay TE(1) > and service chaining(2) > • Do you contemplate combining ILA with RSVP for 1 and NSH for 2 > causing explosion of state in the underlay?? Intent is that ILA can work with NSH, network, slices or other L2 mechanisms. ILA is confined to networks, so it doesn't make any requirements of lower layers, but is hould be able to work with them. The state we are concerned with in ILA is the number of identifier/locator mappings in the network. I believe that is a common problem across most proposals. > • What is the overhead in ILA when supporting IPv4 or Ethernet PDU > sessions? It must be greater, right? > Yes, it is greater. It requires a protocol translation where 20 bytes is expanded to 40 bytes. In itself it might just be as easy to encapsulate, however in the virtualization use case there are cases where protocol translation is quite valuable since it allows us to create a globally routable address for a node in a tenant network that may be using private IPv4 address (e.g. RFC1918).

Re: [DMM] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane-01.txt
That matches my view, Satoru. Still both edges require states hence the associated node has to have an interface to the control plane. But I agree that in total fewer states are required because egress does not need a host state for decap/re-write and removing the SRv6 header at egress is standard behavior. marco -Original Message- From: Satoru Matsushima [mailto:satoru.matsush...@gmail.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 7.

Satoru, since I read this at different places, let me ask one clarifying question about the stateless motivation: I see that for SRv6 you may not need a state at the egress (at least not for traffic forwarding) but for Uplink/Downlink (UL/DL) you need a state at both edges of the communication since the DL egress serves as uplink ingress, correct? marco -Original Message- From: dmm [mailto:dmm-boun...@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Satoru Matsushima Sent: Dienstag, 6.

You would find that case in the draft as ‘Traditional Mode’ which is equivalent with traditional GTP-U case. You seem you say ILA is also equivalent with that mode. In addition, this draft introduces ‘Enhance Mode’ to cover more advanced cases. IMO SR is designed not to maintain path states except at an ingress node. So the packet need to preserve original DA in the header that keep the egress node in stateless. It would be great if ILA is designed in the similar concept as well. If it’s not, it looks a kind of tradeoff, between reducing the overhead and keeping the statelessness. It’s not apple-to-apple comparison.

Title : Segment Routing IPv6 for Mobile User Plane Authors : Satoru Matsushima Clarence Filsfils Miya Kohno Pablo Camarillo Daniel Voyer Charles E. Perkins Filename: draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane-01.txt Pages : 23 Date: 2018-03-05 Abstract: This document discusses the applicability of SRv6 (Segment Routing IPv6) to user-plane of mobile networks. The source routing capability and the network programming nature of SRv6, accomplish mobile user-plane functions in a simple manner. The statelessness and the ability to control underlying layer will be even more beneficial to the mobile user-plane, in terms of providing flexibility and SLA control for various applications. It also simplifies the network architecture by eliminating the necessity of tunnels, such as GTP-U [TS.29281], PMIP [RFC5213], Mac-in-Mac, MPLS, and so on. In addition, Segment Routing provides an enhanced method for network slicing, which is briefly introduced by this document.

You would find that case in the draft as ‘Traditional Mode’ which is equivalent with traditional GTP-U case. You seem you say ILA is also equivalent with that mode.

Good to see this and this addresses the RFC 8200 issue – but yes, little bit more overhead if you include encapsulating IPv6 address and SRH with all the IPv6 SIDs. We have just published LSR-WG individual draft which significantly reduce the SRH overhead at least with NSPF-ID=4 (v6 SRH data plane).

Dear folks, A new revision of SRv6 Mobile User Plane draft has been submitted to IETF. I’d present brief summary of the updates, but the agenda seems already full so that it is uncertain I can do that. So let me share the summary of update on the -01 version here. A Big progress is that the draft supports interworking with GTP over IPv6 in addition to GTP over IPv4. And we have made change SRv6 function to IPv6 encapsulation with SRH instead of SRH insertion by default. Another changes have been made. 5G architecture in 3GPP is shown as a reference architecture, as the discussion on the list many people ask SRv6 applicability for 5G. As the result, many terminologies are aligned based on the reference. You can see many improvements in terms of readability, especially on packet flow explanations. I hope that many of us understand how SRv6 works for the deployment cases described in the draft. Pablo has contributed those significant part of progresses and improvements. He's now onboard as a co-author of the draft.
