Re: [DMM] Call for adoption of draft-hmm-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis-02 as DMM WG document

Dave

I agree with you.  In Rel 15 it is clear that the user plane protocol on both N3 and N9 is GTP.

The CT4 study for future user-plane makes it clear that for cross-domain connections GTP is problematic on N9 and alternatives could be considered.

The timeframe is Rel 16 and the working document is TR 29.892.   

So far there are TWO candidate protocols in the document:

1) GTP
2) SRv6

However, this is a working document and there is plenty of scope to add other candidates in advance of the adoption of the output of CT4 (not sure what date that is - my guess would be sometime round the end of 2019?)

So I think IN SCOPE for DMM is suggesting, detailing, explaining new User Plane candidate protocols.

OUT OF SCOPE of the DMM is deciding which of those protocols makes it into Rel 16.

Surely there are more than 2 candidate protocols we could consider for N3 and N9!?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for reviewing our draft and sending your thought for the adoption.

When I reviewed the charter I couldn't find any text to make the draft to be out of scope. Could you please elaborate it with the text in the charter?

Best regards,

Shunsuke
