DefiniRon of a “Universal Access Gateway”

UAG’s data plane is IP edge for all access networks

• it includes a SGW/PGW for mobile traffic
• It includes the BNG for fixed traffic
• it may include a MPE (with MPTCP)
• it may interface with content caches

UAG’s control plane

• Interfaces with the uAUT
• Includes the MME
• Includes security and policy control
• May interface with content

FuncRonal Convergence Summary

• FMC: global control of mulEple data paths
• MulEplicity of access modes
• MulEplicity due to mobility
• MulEplicity due to replicaEon of content within the network
• Two funcEonal blocks provide a holisEc control for FMC
• uAUT allows to bind mulEple traffic flows to a given user,
• ver all available accesses
• uDPM allows to control how the user’s traffic flows are

dispatched over the available data paths

• The UAG is a funcEonal element that (parEally) implements

uAUT and uDPM

• There are mulEple implementaEon opEons for the UAG
• Standalone equipment versus split data/control plane (SDN)
• Distributed versus centralised implementaEons
