Marco, Sri:



Here is the services based 5G architecture.



[cid:image001.png@01D39F65.E35E55C0]



SMF is a control plane entity and talks to the User plane functions (UPF) through N4 interface as specified in 3GPP TS 29.244.



Here are two variants:



Option 1: Mapping DB talks to the UPFs using a variant of N4 possibly.



[cid:image002.png@01D39F66.D298DBB0]



Option 2: Here there is no direct interface between Mapping Db and UPFs. UPFs also support APIs like the control plane functions.



[cid:image003.png@01D39F66.D298DBB0]



The architecture is extensible and additional control plane or user plane functions can be added.



Is this what you had in mind?

It could be a nice option to keep the data plane specific control (the mapping DB you refer to) in the user plane and take a common N4 to update the mapping DB in case of mobility. But I think that clashes with the clear data plane / control plane separation in nextgen. And: there may be data plane solutions which don't come with a control plane / mapping system. For these the N4 needs to disseminate complete forwarding states (an more, e.g. for chargeable event monitoring, device dormancy support etc.) to all relevant data plane nodes, means the ones that hold a state for the mobile.



Btw, in terms of compatibility with nextgen, so far N4 is terminated only in few types of core data plane nodes with a dedicated role. We may investigate options to push forwarding and further policies from the (nextgen) control plane to other data plane nodes which don't terminate N4.

Sure, that LISP control plane packet is an IP packet. But, every message that is going between CP and UP will be named and numbered in 3GPP specs, and so said in my first mail that its probably a new interface specific to LISP.



With any of the IETF protocols, PMIPv6/LISP/ILA, it can be argued that these are IP packets. But, we should note that there is interworking needed with the 3GPP authentication infrastructure, and the protocol specific control plane. Note that these protocols are not doing MN identity establishment. May be I could be wrong here on the assumptions you have around LISP MN capabilities, but to me MN is a standard 3GPP UE with no special capabilities such as MIPv6/LISP MN stack.
