Re: [Apn] FW: Application-Aware Networking (APN) focused interim

[Linda Dunbar <[e-mail]>]

Shuping,

Agree with the 4 key points you have stated.  The draft-mcd-rtgwg-extension-tn-aware-mobility aligns with the key points you have stated.

Having said that, it is totally okay not to add this draft to the  APN Interim meeting.

Cheers,
Linda

Hi Linda, Kausik,

Many thanks for the clarifications. Let's have a dedicated discussion to clear things out.

Just a few quick points regarding the key updates on the scope of the APN work,

1.       The APN attribute is NOT tagged by the applications.

2.       The APN attribute is tagged at the edge devices of an APN domain, called as APN-Edge.

3.       The APN attribute is constructed based on the existing information in the packet header, such as QinQ and/or 5-tuple, and encapsulated in the tunnel header. Once the tunnel is terminated, the APN attribute will be removed together with the tunnel header at the tunnel endpoint.

4.       The GTP-u is one of the use cases of APN, please see the latest version of the problem statement draft. Just the encapsulation extensions of itself belongs to 3GPP, so we may first focus on the IETF encapsulation technologies.


Hope these points help.

Thank you for your interest and support of the work! Please continue to joining the discussions and your contributions are really appreciated.

Best regards,
Shuping

Robin,

No problem.

Just to clarify that the draft is about IPv6/MPLS forwarding and BGP control of the IP network outside the 3GPP network (circled by the RED dotted line), but utilizing the traffic marking (such as UDP port or others) carried out by the UPF, as depicted in below. But it is totally okay not to include this discussion at the APN  BOF.

Hi Linda,
Thanks very much for your proposal. I have following comments for your reference:
1. The coming APN interim meeting will focus on the solution discussion including the forwarding plane (IPv6-based and MPLS-based) encapsulation, the possible control protocols (IGP/BGP/PCEP) extension and YANG models.
2. We have changed the scope of APN to focus on the network-side solution and updates the related drafts accordingly. I am a little doubtful that the solution in your draft is still related with the case to tag the information in the application side. Even if not, because most of the GTP-u work is under the scope of 3GPP instead of IETF, it may be not a right time to discuss the encapsulation of APN attributes with the GTP-u tunnel now. We should focus on the IETF-based tunnel technologies firstly.


Best Regards,
Robin

Hi Gyan, folks,

Thank you for your suggestions! Besides the guiding slides for the solution discussions, we will also have a set of slides for the problem statement to clarify the WHY.

According to the feedback we have received so far, we have updated the main drafts to sync the information.


The main changes we have made to the drafts are as follows:

1. Removed the application-side solution, only keep the network-side solution

2. The APN attribute is acquired based on the existing information in the packet header such as 5-tuple and QinQ (S-VLAN and C-VLAN) at the edge devices of the APN domain, added to the data packets along with the tunnel encapsulation.

3. When the packets leave the APN domain, the attribute will be removed together with the tunnel encapsulation header.

4. APN aims to apply various policies in different nodes along a network path onto a traffic flow altogether, for example, at the headend to steer into corresponding path, at the midpoint to collect corresponding performance measurement data, and at the service function to execute particular policies.

Hi Shuping & APN WG

I agree as well that the agenda looks good and many thanks to the RTGWG for providing a time slot to host the discussion.

I support the basic concept of the gap APN is trying to solve and provide fine grain SLA for primary use case of 5G network slicing.

Traditionally and historically customer SLA been provided using Diffserv QOS Marking and PHB scheduling as well as customer application layer SLA using RSVP TE class or path based tunnel selection DS TE RFC 4124 and RFC 3270 MPLS Diffserv uniform and pipe mode explicit null framework to meet customer SLA requirements.  Also ALTO / SDN PCE / PCE CC based network based application flow optimizations of flows as well as ACTN abstraction framework for underlay path resource provisioning.

As an agenda item I think it maybe a good idea to briefly touch on the problem statement and the gap that requires a solution based on  existing technologies and solutions that exist today.

Also applicability of the APN ID fine grain SLA for 5G network slicing, DETNET, SD WAN as well as any other use cases.

As we have discussed caveats and complexity related to host to network signaling that it makes sense to update the existing drafts to reflect application edge CE based network marking of the APN ID.   Also, as the APN ID marking as we have discussed will change  to network layer marking on the application edge CE, how does the marking closely or not resemble the VTN ID marking in the data packet for VPN+ E2E network slicing.

This will help facilitate the discussion so we don't get stuck on the complexity of host to network signaling.

Kind Regards

Gyan

Dear all,

The APN Interim meeting has been scheduled on June 3rd. Please find the meeting information shared by the Chairs of the RTG WG below.

In this APN Interim meeting, we are going to focus more on the discussions of the solutions (more overview than details), including
1.       the design of the APN attribute itself
2.       the encapsulation of the APN attribute on the various data planes (the encapsulation on the IPv6 data plane is an example)
3.       the control plane protocols extensions for exchanging the APN attribute
4.       NETCONF/YANG models for the NBI and SBI

You are very welcomed to join the discussions, and your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thank you!
