RE: New Liaison Statement, "LS on ATSSS Phase 2 conclusions"

[Waqar Zia <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jana,

The diagram is the correct depiction as I see: the MP-QUIC connection is indeed expected to be between the UE and the UPF, not between the UE and a (3GPP-) external server. Hence the reordering that may happen due to use of two different access technologies between the UE and UPF needs to be fixed at the UPF for the uplink and at the UE for the downlink.

Best regards,
Waqar.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.
Speaking only as a user of computer technology, thanks for making this more palatable as a PDF. A few questions:

- I am a bit confused by the picture, and Spencer or someone else can point me to something that I haven't read yet -- I thought the QUIC connection was between the remote server and the UE, not between the UPF and the UE. Am I missing something?
- Assuming that the QUIC connection is between the UE and the remote server: Since only endpoints can see the packet numbers, how are the packets supposed to be re-sequenced at any point in the middle (the UPF)?

Thanks!

Thanks for raising this topic. With https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-amend-iccrg-multipath-reordering-01 we consider exactly that and try to provide input to develop/discuss different re-ordering strategies. My personal belief is, that without any re-ordering implementation in the UPF or UE the end-to-end delivery will be worse.

Lionel, thank you for converting the statement to PDF.

Reading the document, I have one question.

"The simultaneous transmission of a data flow across two accesses should not result in out-of-order delivery"

I wonder what this sentence means. Is it suggesting that UPF (and possibly UE) would buffer packets that arrive on the faster path until the packets that were sent on the slower path reach that node? To give an example, let's say that UE has sent three packets: packet 1 sent using WiFi, packet 2 using LTE, packet 3 using WiFi. UPF receives packets in the order of 1, 3, 2. Is UPF expected to postpone the forwarding of packet 3 until it receives packet 2?

I raise the question, because during the interim, some have pointed out that such buffering has negative effects on loss recovery, and that we should devote our efforts to designing an end-to-end multi-path design, rather than having an intermediary that aggregates paths (in this case UPF).

Would it be possible to publish this document in a format that can be opened by everyone without using proprietary software?
