Segment Routing IPv6 Mobile User Plane Architecture for Distributed
Mobility Management
draft-mhkk-dmm-srv6mup-architecture-02
Abstract
This document defines the Segment Routing IPv6 Mobile User Plane
(SRv6 MUP) architecture for Distributed Mobility Management. The
requirements for Distributed Mobility Management described in
[RFC7333] can be satisfied by routing fashion.
Mobile services are deployed over several parts of IP networks. A
Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) network can accommodate all, or part
of those networks thanks to the large address space of IPv6 and the
network programming capability described in [RFC8986].
Segment Routing IPv6 Mobile User Plane Architecture can incorporate
existing session based mobile networks. By leveraging SRv6 network
programmability, mobile user plane can be integrated into the SRv6
data plane. In that routing paradigm, session information between
the entities of the mobile user plane is turned to routing
information.

1. Introduction
Mobile services require IP connectivity for communication between the
entities of mobile service architecture [RFC5213][TS.23501]. To
provide the IP connectivity, Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402]can be a
candidate solution.
In PMIPv6 [RFC5213], IP connectivity between LMA and MAG can be
provided over SR networks, as well as LMA and Internet. In 3GPP 5G
[TS.23501], IP connectivity for N3 interface between gNodeB(es) and
UPFs can also be provided by SR, as well as for N6 interface between
UPFs and DNs (Data Network).
These IP connectivities may be covered by multiple SR networks, or
just one SR network, depending on the size of the deployment. In the
latter case, it is expected that the address space of the SR network
should be large enough to cover a vast number of nodes, such as
millions of base stations. For this reason, use of IPv6 for the SR
dataplane looks sufficiently suitable.
SRv6 is an instantiation of SR over IPv6 dataplane in which a single
network can accommodate all entities of mobile services thanks to the
huge available address space and network programming capability
described in [RFC8986].
Meanwhile, SRv6 network programmability enhances SRv6 dataplane to be
integrated with mobile user plane [I-D.ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane].
It will make an entire SRv6 network support the user plane in a very
efficient distributed routing fashion.
On the other hand, the requirements for Distributed Mobility
Management (DMM) described in [RFC7333] can be satisfied by session
management based solutions. [RFC8885] defines protocol extension to
PMIPv6 for the DMM requirements. 3GPP 5G defines an architecture in
which multiple session anchors can be added to one mobility session
by the session management.
As a reminder, the user plane related requirements in [RFC7333] are
reproduced here:
REQ1: Distributed mobility management
IP mobility, network access solutions, and forwarding
solutions provided by DMM MUST enable traffic to avoid
traversing a single mobility anchor far from the optimal
route. It is noted that the requirement on distribution
applies to the data plane only.
Matsushima, et al. Expires 8 September 2022 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft SRv6 MUP Architecture March 2022
REQ3: IPv6 deployment
DMM solutions SHOULD target IPv6 as the primary deployment
environment and SHOULD NOT be tailored specifically to
support IPv4, particularly in situations where private IPv4
addresses and/or NATs are used.
REQ4: Existing mobility protocols
A DMM solution MUST first consider reusing and extending IETF
standard protocols before specifying new protocols.
REQ5: Coexistence with deployed networks/hosts and operability
across different networks
A DMM solution may require loose, tight, or no integration
into existing mobility protocols and host IP stacks.
Regardless of the integration level, DMM implementations MUST
be able to coexist with existing network deployments, end
hosts, and routers that may or may not implement existing
mobility protocols. Furthermore, a DMM solution SHOULD work
across different networks, possibly operated as separate
administrative domains, when the needed mobility management
signaling, forwarding, and network access are allowed by the
trust relationship between them.
This document defines the Segment Routing IPv6 Mobile User Plane
(SRv6 MUP) architecture for Distributed Mobility Management. SRv6
MUP is not a mobility management system itself, but an architecture
to integrate mobile user plane into the SRv6 data plane.
In this routing paradigm, session information from a mobility
management system will be transformed to routing information. It
means that mobile user plane specific nodes for the anchor or
intermediate points are no longer required. The user plane anchor
and intermediate functions can be supported by SR throughout an SR
domain (REQ1), not to mention that SRv6 MUP will naturally be
deployed over IPv6 networks (REQ3).
SRv6 MUP architecture is independent from the mobility management
system. For the requirements (REQ4, 5), SRv6 MUP architecture is
designed to be pluggable user plane part of existing mobile service
architectures. Those existing architectures are for example defined
in [RFC5213], [TS.23501], or if any.
The level of SRv6 MUP integration for mobile networks running based
on the existing architecture will be varied and depending on the
level of SRv6 awareness of the control and user plane entities.

Internet-Draft SRv6 MUP Architecture March 2022
Specifying how to modify the existing architecture to integrate SRv6
MUP is out of scope of this document. What this document provides
for the existing architecture is an interface for SRv6 MUP which the
existing or future architectures can easily integrate.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Terminology
MUP: Mobile User Plane
MUP Segment: Representation of mobile user plane segment
MUP PE: Provider Edge node in a MUP network
MUP GW: Gateway node to interwork with another mobile user plane
networks
MUP Controller: Controller node for a MUP network
UE: User Equipment, as per [TS.23501]
MN: Mobile Node, as per [RFC5213]
3. Architecture Overview
SRv6 MUP architecture defined in this document introduces a new
segment type of the SR called "Mobile User Plane (MUP) segment" and
new routing information called "Segment Discovery route" and "Session
Transformed route", then 3 new network nodes; MUP PE, MUP GW and MUP
Controller. Figure 1 depicts the overview.
To carry these new routing information, this architecture requires
extending the existing routing protocols. Any routing protocol can
be used to carry this information but this document recommends using
BGP. Thus, this document describes extensions on BGP as an example.

4. Mobile User Plane Segment
This document defines one new segment type. A Mobile User Plane
(MUP) segment may represent a network segment consisting of a mobile
service. The MUP segment can be created by an SR node which provides
connectivity for the mobile user plane. The MUP segment SID can be
any behavior defined in [RFC8986], [I-D.ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane],
or any other extensions for further use cases.
The behavior of the MUP segment will be chosen by the role of the
representing mobile network segment. For example, in case of an SR
node interfaces to 5G user plane on the access side defined as "N3"
in [TS.23501], the behavior of created segment SID will be
"End.M.GTP4.E", or "End.M.GTP6.E". In this case, the SR node may
associate the SID to a N3 access network (N3RAN) routing instance.
Another example here is the "N6" interface on the core data network
side. The behavior of the created segment SID will be "End.DT4",
"End.DT6", or "End.DT2". In this case the SR node may associate the
SID to a N6 data network (N6DN) routing instance.

Internet-Draft SRv6 MUP Architecture March 2022
5. Distribution of Mobile User Plane Segment Information
Distribution of MUP segment information can be done by advertising
routing information with the MUP segment for mobile service. This
document defines two types of SR node, MUP PE and MUP GW, for
distributing MUP segment information.
A MUP Segment Discovery route is routing information, of which a MUP
segment is associated with network reachability. This document
defines the basic discovery route types, Direct Segment Discovery
route, and Interwork Segment Discovery route. Other types of segment
discovery route may be mobile service architecture specific. Define
the architecture specific network reachability is out of scope of
this document and it will be specified in another document.
5.1. MUP PE
A MUP PE accommodates a MUP Segment to a routing instance for MUP
Direct Segment. The MUP PE advertises the Direct Segment Discovery
route for the routing instance. The Direct Segment Discovery route
includes an address of the MUP PE in the network reachability
information with the corresponding Direct Segment indicating
community, and SID of the routing instance to the SR domain.
For example in 3GPP 5G specific case, an MUP PE may connect to N6
interface on a DN side, an MUP Segment Discovery route for the DN
will be advertised with an address of the MUP PE, corresponding SID
and Direct Segment indicating community to the routing instance for
the DN from the MUP PE.
When a MUP PE receives a Interwork Segment Discovery route, the MUP
PE keeps the received Interwork Segment Discovery routes in the RIB.
The MUP PE uses the received Interwork Segment Discovery routes to
resolve the reachability for remote endpoint of Type 1 session
transformed routes, described in Section 6. If the Interwork Segment
Discovery route resolves the reachability for Type 1 session
transformed routes, the MUP PE updates the FIB entry for the prefix
of Type 1 session transformed route with the SID of the matched MUP
segment discovery route.
Matsushima, et al. Expires 8 September 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft SRv6 MUP Architecture March 2022
The received Interwork Segment Discovery routes MUST be used only to
resolve reachability for the remote endpoints of Type 1 session
transformed routes. The connectivity among the routing instances for
Interwork Segments may be advertised as VPN routes. This is to avoid
forwarding entries to the prefixes of Interwork Segment mingled in
the other type of routing instance. A SR node MAY discard the
received Interwork segment discovery route if the Route Target
extended communities of the route does not meet the SR node's import
poilicy.
5.2. MUP GW
A MUP GW interfaces an Interwork Segment with the user plane protocol
for the existing mobile service architecture. The MUP GW
accommodates the Interwork Segment to a routing instance for the
existing mobile service architecture. The MUP GW advertises the
corresponding Interwork Segment Discovery route with the prefixes of
the Interwork Segment and the corresponding SID of the prefixes to
the SR domain.
For example in 3GPP 5G specific case, an Interwork Segment Discovery
route for N3 network accommodating RAN will be incorporated in an
N3RAN segment discovery route associated with a RAN segment SID.
When a MUP GW receives a Direct Segment Discovery route from MUP PEs,
the MUP GW keeps the received Direct Segment Discovery route in the
RIB. The MUP GW uses the received Direct Segment Discovery route to
resolve Type 2 session transformed routes reachability, described in
Section 6. If the Direct Segment Discovery route resolves
reachability for the endpoints, and match the Direct Segment
indication community of the Type 2 session transformed routes, the
MUP GW updates the FIB entry for the Type 2 session transformed route
with the SID of the matched MUP segment discovery route.
In case that an SR node accommodates MUP GW and PE simultaneously,
the MUP GW in the SR node uses a local Direct Segment routing
instance if a received Type 2 session transformed route indicates the
local Direct Segment routing instance by the Direct Segment
indicating community in the Type 2 session transformed route.
6. MUP Controller
A MUP controller provides a northbound API. A consumer of the API
inputs session information for a UE or a MN from mobility management
system. The MUP controller transforms the received session
information to routing information and will advertise the transformed
route to the SR domain.
Matsushima, et al. Expires 8 September 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft SRv6 MUP Architecture March 2022
The received session information is expected to include the UE or MN
IP prefix(es), tunnel endpoint identifiers for both ends, and any
other attributes for the mobile networks. For example in a 3GPP 5G
specific case, the tunnel endpoint identifier will be a pair of the
F-TEIDs on both the N3 access side (RAN) and core side (UPF).
SRv6 MUP architecture defines two types of session transformed route.
First type route is that IP prefix(es) for a UE or MN may be encoded
in a BGP MP-NLRI attribute with associated session information of the
tunnel endpoint identifier on the access side. The MUP controller
advertises the UE or MN route to the SR domain.
Second type route is that the tunnel endpoint identifier of the
session on the core side may also be encoded in another BGP MP-NLRI
attribute with the nature of tunnel decapsulation. Longest match
algorithm for the prefix in this type of session transformed route
should be applicable to aggregate the routes for scale.
MUP PE and GW are expected to receive the routes advertised from the
MUP controller. A MUP PE imports a Type 1 session transformed route
for UE or MN into the corresponding Direct type routing instance. A
MUP GW imports a Type 2 session transformed route for core side
session tunnel endpoint identifier into the corresponding Interwork
type routing instance.
7. Illustration
This section shows an illustration of SRv6 MUP deployment. The
example deployment cases here is 3GPP 5G.
Before enabling SRv6 MUP, how SRv6 networks can accommodate existing
mobile network service shown in Figure 2. SR nodes S1, S2, and S3
join an SR network. A routing instance is configured to each network
of the mobile service. N6DN in S1 and S2 are supposed to provide
connectivity to edge servers and the Internet respectively.
VRF (Virtual Routing Forwarding) may be a way to instantiate the
routing instance for realizing the routing policy of each instance.
All example cases in this section follow the typical routing policy
control using the BGP extended community described in [RFC4360] and
[RFC4684]

Internet-Draft SRv6 MUP Architecture March 2022
Note: The above configurations are just to provide typical IP
connectivity for 3GPP 5G. When the above configurations have
been done, each endpoint in V/v and X/x can communicate through
S1 and S3, but they can not communicate with nodes in E/e, W/w
and Y/y.
Here, SR nodes are configured to enable SRv6 MUP as following:
* S1 as MUP GW
- advertises Interwork type discovery route: V/v with SID S1::
- set S1:: behavior End.M.GTP4.E or End.M.GTP6.E
* S1 as MUP PE
- advertise Direct type discovery route: MUP direct segment
community D1 and SID S1:1::
- set S1:1:: behavior End.DT4 or End.DT6 for the N6DN in S1
* S2 as MUP PE
- advertise Direct type route: MUP direct segment community D1
and SID S2::
- set S2:: behavior End.DT4 or End.DT6 for the N6DN in S2
S1 here adopts the local N6DN for D1 as long as S1 prioritizes closer
segment for the same MUP direct segment. Another MUP GW runs on a SR
node may adopt D1 from S2, if the SR node has no local N6DN for D1
and closer to S2 than S1.

Now, session information U1 comes to a MUP Controller, MUP-C, and
MUP-C is configured to transforms U1 to the routes as follows:
* MUP-C
- attach the RT C3 to the DN in U1
- transforms UE's prefix U/u, the F-TEID on access side (gNB) and
QFI in U1 to the Type 1 session transformed route for the
prefix U/u with the F-TEID, the QFI, and RT C3
- transforms F-TEID on core side (UPF) X in U1 to the Type 2
session transformed route for X with MUP segment-ID D1 and RT
C2
Then N3RAN and N6DN import route X and U/u respectively. S1 and S2
resolves U/u's remote endpoint with V/v and then install SID S1:: for
U/u in FIB. S1:: will not be appeared in the packet from E/e to U/u
over the wire.
As S1 adopts local N6DN for D1, N3RAN in S1 decapsulates GTP-U
packets from V/v to X and then lookup the inner packets from U/u in
N6DN after the decapsulation.
Note: When the above configurations have been done, SRv6 MUP is

applied only to the packets from/to U/u. Each endpoint in U/u,
W/w and E/e can communicate through S1 and S2. The rest of
traffic from/to other UEs go through the usual 3GPP 5G user
plane path using UPF via S3.
Another case shown in Figure 4 is that S4 joins the SR network and
accommodates edge servers in the N6DN in S4.

* N6DN in S1
- export no route
- import routes which have RT C4
* N6DN in S2 (same with the previous case)

- import routes which have RT C3 and C4

- export route Y/y with RT C3
- import routes which have RT C4
* N6DN in S4
- export route E/e with RT C4
- import routes which have RT C3 and C4
Here, SR nodes are configured to enable SRv6 MUP as following:
* S1 as MUP GW (same with the previous case)
- advertises Interwork type route: V/v with SID S1::
- set S1:: behavior End.M.GTP4.E or End.M.GTP6.E
* S1 as MUP PE
- advertise Direct type route: MUP direct segment community D1
for the local N6DN
- set S1:1:: behavior End.DT4 or End.DT6 for the N6DN in S1
* S2 as MUP PE (same with the previous case)
- advertise Direct type route: MUP direct segment community D1
and SID S2::
- set S2:: behavior End.DT4 or End.DT6 for the N6DN in S2
* S4 as MUP PE
- advertise Direct type route: MUP direct segment community D2
and SID S4::
- set S4:: behavior End.DT4 or End.DT6 for the N6DN in S4
Matsushima, et al. Expires 8 September 2022 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft SRv6 MUP Architecture March 2022
As same as the previous case, S1 adopts the local N6DN for D1 as long
as S1 prioritizes closer segment for the same MUP direct segment.
The Direct type route from S4 for D2 with SID S4:: will be kept in
S1.
* MUP-C (same with the previous case)
- attach the RT C3 to the DN in U1
- transforms UE's prefix U/u, the F-TEID on access side (gNB) and
QFI in U1 to the Type 1 session transformed route for the
prefix U/u with the F-TEID, the QFI, and RT C3
- transforms F-TEID on core side (UPF) X in U1 to the Type 2
session transformed route for X with MUP direct segment
community D1 and RT C2
Then N3RAN and N6DN import route X and U/u respectively. S2 and S4
resolve U/u's remote endpoint with V/v and then install SID S1:: for
U/u in FIB.
As same as the previous case, S1 adopts local N6DN for D1, N3RAN in
S1 decapsulates GTP-U packets from V/v to X and then lookup the inner
packets from U/u in N6DN after the decapsulation.
For D2 on the other hand, no corresponding N6DN existed in S1.
However E/e with RT C4 from S4 is imported into N6DN in S1 as a vpn
route, E/e is reachable from U/u via N6DN for D1 in S1.
If a session U1' includes DN corresponding to D2, MUP-C advertises
Type 2 session transformed route X' with MUP direct segment community
D2, and then N3RAN in S1 instantiates H.M.GTP4.D or End.M.GTP6.D for
X with S4:: as the last SID in the received Direct type route from
S4.
Note: When the above configurations have been done, SRv6 MUP is
applied only to the packets from/to U/u. Each endpoint in U/u,
W/w and E/e can communicate through S1, S2 and S4. The rest of
traffic from/to other UEs go through the usual 3GPP 5G user
plane path using UPF via S3.
