[Teas] Re: New Liaison Statement, "LS Reply on "A Realization of Network Slices for 5G Networks Using Current IP/MPLS Technologies""

[Krzysztof Szarkowicz <[e-mail]>]

Dear Chairs,


Authors of draft-ietf-teas-5g-ns-ip-mpls have discussed the 3GGP LS reply, and are planning following updates:


1. Authors will removed appendix B.1 and B.2, and release new version of the draft without these appendixes.

2. Authors will keep the example of IP allocation method described in Section 4. IP allocation method not being discussed by 3GPP doesn’t preclude that it cannot be discussed by IETF.

3. Authors will keep Section 5 unchanged. Slice realization in transport network, including how transport network resources (including QoS queues -> e.g. if single slice uses single QoS queue or multiple QoS queues) are used, is in the scope of IETF, not 3GPP. draft-ietf-teas-5g-ns-ip-mpls in any way doesn’t provide any recommendations or suggestions about changing or adjusting 3GPP 5G QoS model in network domain(s) under 3GPP SDO scope., or about correlation between 3GPP 5G QoS and network slices in the network domain(s) under 3GPP SDO scope.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
(on behalf of co-authors)

> 3.Regarding clause 5, SA2 would like to clarify 5G QoS model is an independent feature from network slicing. Binding with S-NSSAI is not aligned with the current 5G QoS model.
