Joel, 

Not every service on IoT devices or Drones needs to be sticky. For example, large amount of non-critical sensor data can be piped to databases, via tools like AWS Kenesis, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, or proprietary logging tools. 
Only a small number of ultra-low latency services from those mobile devices need servers placed close to the radio towers, like processing abnormal image captures that requires adjusting the amount of chemical to spray.  And only a subset of those ultra-low latency services need to be sticky. 

We have updated the draft to address comments from the meeting and the mailing list: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dunbar-6man-5g-edge-compute-sticky-service/

Replies to other comments are inserted below:

Subject: Re: Questions/comments about draft-dunbar-6man-5g-edge-compute-sticky-service

I looked again at your draft.
[Linda] Thank you. Please review the 03 version just uploaded. 


First, one key assumption you make is very dangerous.  You assume that there are only a few sticky services.  Then you talk about Drones or 
IOT.  Those will use a multiplicity of different services.    More 
generally,as Mike O'Dell said year ago, scaling is the only hard problem.  Anything can be made to work if you pretend it does not need to scale.  The experience with our technology shows us that anything that is actually useful ends up needing to scale.
[Linda] Agree with what you said. But can't figure out what exactly the scaling issues raised by the draft. 

With that out of the way, your draft discusses a UE-oriented solution. 
But it assumes that the UE needs to get information at the IP layer.  By assumption, in your model, the UE got the "anycast" address from DNS. 
How about, instead of asking DNS in teh first place, it asked something else.  And then the application behavior fprovides whatever feedback is needed to know when to ask again (e.g. the way the streaming protocols do for rate adjustment).
[Linda]Query DNS is the current practice for virtually all applications. What is the "Something Else" you are referring to? 
Maybe asking DNS to reply the IPv6  Optional Header together with the IPv6 address?  

And if you want to keep the UE out of it, don't use data plane sniffing to try to teach the edges about tunnels.  It produces a LOT of messes. 
Instead, if you really insist it be at the edge router, use something like LISP that can choose what granulartiy to ask for information, and has dealt with telling when the answers change, and all the other complexities you are sweeping under the covers.
[Linda] Yes, we can consider LISP. IP-in-IP with edge nodes being the LDN Ingress routers and Egress routers? How is LISP different from other tunnels?  

I also note that having these debates in two places is veyr confusing. 
[Linda] Is it better to lump all the discussion to the Dyncast list?  We can do. 
Your ask is indistinguishable from the ask of your colleagues on the dyncast list.

Yours,
Joel

(For the URLLC case without stickiness, one could even use flex-algo to have addresses that are routed by lowest cumulative link delay.)  Again, it depends upon what problem you really want to solve.

That means it is best for a controller to determine which one to use both initially and later when situation changes (when a UE relocates or server load situation changes), and that does not necessarily mean it is always through DNS.

>>> Hi Linda,
>>>
>>> You proposed two ways of providing "sticky services" - when a UE moves to a new location, the ingress router at that new location will still route the packets of the same flow to the previous egress router. That flow cannot be identified by the destination address alone, since it is an anycast address that are shared by servers behind different egress routers.
>>>
>>> Essentially, you're trying to turn the ingress router into a load balancer, especially with your option #2 (section 5, "tunnel based" solution). I don't think we want the routers to do that - while routers can make use of 5-tuple for ECMP hashing, we don't want to make routers more complicated and do forwarding based on a sticky-service-table with (Sticky Service ID, Flow Label. Sticky Egress address, Timer) entries. It's not only complicated but also does not scale (we can discuss the scaling aspect wrt the flow labels separately).
>>>
>>> The variation of option #1 that I suggested would be better, if the following were true:
>>>
>>> 1. The UE can insert an SRH
>>> 2. The ingress router can trust the SRH from the UEs
>>>
>>> In that case, it would be better for the UE to learn the egress router via 5G/MEC control plane, instead of relying on the egress router to put that into the DOH of every server->UE packets for sticky services and for the UE to retrieve that information from each incoming sticky service packets. One thing I learned is that the entire 5G system is very much heavy with control/management plane and I would think it is a much better option to provide that information to the UEs.
>>>
>>> On the other hand, once you go that way, the control plane can simply provide the regular, non-anycast addresses of the servers instead of the egress router address. Then, all the problems disappear and corresponding proposals are no longer needed, including the ones in draft-dunbar-idr-5g-edge-compute-app-meta-data, and we only need existing simple routing functions.

Therefore, in this context it may be better to simply strike the "through 5G Core [5GC]" wording to reduce the confusion to some readers.

>>>
>>> [Linda] ANYCAST has traditionally been used for servers or loader balancers that are placed in geographically diverse locations, so that BGP alone is enough for the traffic in one region to be forwarded to one server.  But for the 5G Edge Computing where multiple Servers/load Balancers with the same ANYCAST addresses are placed close proximity, IGP is needed.
