Acee,

You asked a question on how to enforce one flow to be nailed towards the same location for an ANYCAST address during the IETF 109 IDR Friday session.
Here are some links showing that the commercial routers already support the feature, a.k.a. Flow Affinity, or Flow-based load balancing.
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/lanswitch/configuration/xe-3s/lanswitch-xe-3s-book/lnsw-flow-portchannel-load.html
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/reference/configuration-statement/data-flow-affinity-edit-chassis.html

draft-dunbar-idr-5g-edge-compute-app-meta-data states that the ingress node, i.e. the router Ra/Rb which are adjacent to 5G UPF (or Packet Session anchor point-PSA), can use Flow ID (in IPv6 header) or UDP/TCP port number combined with Source Address in IPv4  to enforce packets in one flow being placed in one tunnel to one Egress router, such as R1, R2, or R3 in the figure below.  All other nodes in the network don't need to take any extra action.
Does it address your concern?
