Hi John,

You mentioned that "5QI/QCI etc are in the GTP extension header which may not be ideal to lookup to classify each packet in the transport network". This is slightly different from my understanding about this: 5QI/QCI belongs to control plane information, and when the base station encapsulates the packet with GTPu, it maps the 5QI/QCI into the DSCP in  IP header outside GTPu encapsulation. Do I have any misunderstanding about this point?

Xuesong

Hi Xuesong,

Traffic policy for subscribers is managed per PDU session at the UPF (and gNB).
GTP-u does provide encapsulation between the end points, but its control fields are meant for conveying control semantics between the GTP endpoints: they were not intended for IP transport/ traffic underlays. 5QI/QCI etc are in the GTP extension header which may not be ideal to lookup to classify each packet in the transport network.

The entity that classifies data packets (upstream at gNB and downstream at UPF-PSA) also inserts the DSCP for that GTP packet. The classification is based on subscriber aspects but may also on be based on its content (e.g., using DPI).

Best Regards,
John

Hi Uma and all,

I have read the document and got a few questions:
In my understanding, in the UPF where traffic policy is enforced, the fine-granularity services are provided. Then what fields in the GTP-u encapsulation indicates the traffic's service requirements? When a GTP-u tunnel goes into a SRv6 policy, according to which fields in the GTP-u encapsulation the DSCP is generated? We know that there are parameters such as 5QI/QCI and QFI, whether they are associated with a GTP-u tunnel?

Hi APNers and DMMers,
I remember that in the mobile core scenarios the GTP-u tunnel can be set up according to the user and application requirements, but I do not understand the details.

[Uma]: Obviously, the best reference for GTP-U is TS 29.281. However, uou should look into https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatatracker.ietf.org%2Fdoc%2Fdraft-ietf-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cjohn.kaippallimalil%40futurewei.com%7C77632db844b34a8e561108d8bdb38cb8%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C0%7C637467926158632424%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=5nVGUJhkHBn7FWHUCFPC4lGhwr6lBqtIWNyY1o0dxsg%3D&reserved=0> where lot more details and other references related this topic was analyzed (primarily started after/during REL-15, when  any other use plane other than GTP-U is worthwhile is debated for 5G N9 interface).

I think when the packet tunneled by GTP-u traverses the APN-based transport network, it may be mapped to the corresponding tunnel according to the user and application requirements to implement the uniform service. If you are familiar with the principle of GTP-u in the mobile core, please help provide some details.


Best Regards,
Zhenbin (Robin)
