1. Overall Description: TSG RAN would like to thank IANA and IETF for the assignment of numbers for 3GPP specific protocols and applications. During the last 20 years, 3GPP was granted about 13 port allocations for transport port protocols used over 3GPP interfaces which today are widely deployed and used for many different scenarios. Examples for those are RNSAP, S1, Xn, F1, … Recently, IANA rejected the request for a new transport protocol port number designated for the E1 interface. The E1 interface is part of the NR logical architecture for 5G. 3GPP understands that IANA is rethinking its policy for assigning SCTP port numbers. However, 3GPP is currently finalising the new 5G radio access, including network and interface aspects, for which imminent deployments are foreseen. The continued cooperation of IANA to support and facilitate 5G adoption by following past practices, will be highly appreciated. 2. Actions: To IETF and IANA; ACTION: TSG RAN would like IETF and IANA to take the above information into consideration and ensure timely progress of 3GPP work to support and facilitate 5G deployments. 3. Date of Next TSG-RAN Meetings: TSG-RAN Meeting #81 10th – 13th September 2018 Gold Coast, Australia TSG-RAN Meeting #82 10th – 13th December 2018 Sorrento, Italy References None |
