Re: [DMM] New Liaison Statement, "CP-173160: New Study Item on User Plane Protocol in 5GC"

["Sri Gundavelli (sgundave)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Arashmid,

We were trying to avoid this debate on inclusion/exclusions of individual
I-D’s, but looks like we are just doing that. That is fine. Lets review
the situation.

The approach on what documents to be explicitly listed is based on the
following principles.

#1 Provide references to DMM WG documents that have any relation to the
study item in 5GC. 
#2 Include references to individual I-D’s that have done broader
requirement/solution analysis/comparative study on the topic of mobile
user plane optimization; documents that are not advocating a specific
solution. We also wanted to apply the constraint of documents that have
had substantial discussions in the working group. In other words,
documents that were reviewed by the WG and received significantly high
number of comments.


For #1: we have included draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane-02.txt, as its
a WG document on track for standardization.

For #2: we have included draft-bogineni as there were many
discussions/presentations/conference calls on that draft. We have also
included draft-hmm-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis-00, but however this draft was
published recently and had near zero discussions in the WG. But given the
quality of the document and noting that its about requirement analysis and
as its not advocating a specific solution, we chose to keep this document
in the list. 

We have not included any other I-D’s which have not had enough discussions
and which are solution specific documents. Not that we have not
established the draft applicability to the 3GPP study item. These include:
 	
draft-auge-dmm-hicn-mobility-00, 	
draft-auge-dmm-hicn-mobility-deployment-options-00, 	
draft-camarillo-dmm-srv6-mobile-pocs-00, 	
draft-gundavelli-dmm-mfa-00
draft-homma-dmm-5gs-id-loc-coexistence-01,



Now, if this sounds unreasonable or unfair, we have two options.

#1 Remove references to all individual drafts and only include WG
documents 
#2: Include every single I-D (WG and non WG) documents.


All - Please comment.
