A Current Mobile Network Example • Well fragmented to RAN, EPC and SGi. • Per-session tunnel creation and handling. • Non-optimum data-path. Data-plane L3 Anchor Node Role Service Access Node L2 Anchor Node (Packet Data Functions (eNode-B) (Serving Gateway) Network Gateway) IPv4/IPv6 Internet, Service network GTP-U Tunnel GTP-U Tunnel VLAN, etc., IPv4 IPv4 RAN EPC SGi

What if SRv6 replaces GTP-U Tunnel? • Well fragmented to RAN, EPC and SGi. • Per-session tunnel creation and handling. • Non-optimal data-path. • IPv6 integrates networks of the mobile and others. • A SID represents data-plane role and function. L3 Anchor Node Access Node L2 Anchor Node (Packet Data Network Gateway) (eNode-B) (Serving Gateway) Access Node L2 Anchor Node L3 Anchor Node (eNode- B) (Serving Gateway) (Packet Data Network Gateway) SRv6 SIDs GTP Tunnel GTP Tunnel IPv4 IPv4 SRv6 Network RAN EPC

E2E Mobile Orchestration with SRv6 • Data-plane nodes are NOT dedicated to specifjc roles. -> SID represents each data-plane role. • Orchestrator puts SIDs to the nodes with its functions -> It requires some data models to instantiate the data-plane Mobile Control-Plane & Apps Orchestrator /Controller UL:T.Insert UL:END.T DL:END.X DL:T.Insert SRv6 Network Internet, Service network

Summary • SRv6 is expected to make mobile network to be: • Simple to operate in E2E basis. • Flexible where to deploy various functjons. • SID Functjons for mobile data-plane need to be considered: • Access-node, L2 Anchor-node and L3 Anchor-node. • To orchestrate mobile user-plane network, SRv6 needs to be integrated into: • Data model for mobile data-plane. • 5G related standards.
