Hi,

As a co-author, I support the adoption. I am not aware of undisclosed IPRs.

Thanks for David and Miya’s comments. Please see zzh> below for my responses.

“ANUP solely addresses user plane convergence and tries to liaise with 3GPP, 
but I'm afraid this is a half-baked attempt.”

Absolutely agree and there are many aspects of the current 3GPP design which 
are not very ‘IETF-like’ that we should be considering (removal of IMS and 
total separation of the voice/text service from the transport network would be 
the first item I’d consider – then move onto the use of tunnels, then look at 
authentication, then at a truly global-mobile solution… etc.)

So this draft is good but I agree it only really addresses the ‘here-and-now’ 
and we have much in the control plane that needs reworking.

Zzh> While the subject is User Plane Evolution, the integration of AN and UPF 
does allow optimization of control plane, and it is discussed in the document. 
That control plane optimization is what makes the ANUP proposal different from 
an implementation choice of putting AN and UPF on the same device but keep 
using N2/N4 signaling.

What I think we need in IETF (and it is not in a chartered group such as DMM – 
that scope is known) is a study of the current ‘mobile’ infrastructure with 
reference to how today’s consumers are using it predominantly for Internet 
access (a good thing for IETF and that includes voice and text which is mostly 
OTT now) and whether the current economic and architectural models fit that use 
case.

Zzh> As the DMM chairs and ADs have said, IETF does not do 3GPP 
standardization. This draft makes it clear that it represents some thoughts 
from IETF/wireline background on the MUP topic, but the actual specification 
work need to happen in 3GPP.
Zzh> We’re not trying to boil the ocean. Additional study can be done, but it’s 
outside the scope of this document.
Zzh> More below.

Where I struggle is that is probably not an IETF WG or IRTF RG.

Hello,

Though this draft is mostly agreeable, drastic improvement also requires the 
control plane work.

Zzh> The document does acknowledge that the control plane optimization can be 
enabled by the integration of AN and UPF.

In fact, RAN Core convergence has already been discussed.
e.g.
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10073488<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10073488__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!ED_3G1ChCUv5T37QYoEWA9ltsxEHO33FoGjCMxCe6Z8riE_4M5eZ-Wr4dGuJ8Xcf_Ih6XqfEKIyKt2IEbSu8cIfZ2I8jsXg_$>
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10001281<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10001281__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!ED_3G1ChCUv5T37QYoEWA9ltsxEHO33FoGjCMxCe6Z8riE_4M5eZ-Wr4dGuJ8Xcf_Ih6XqfEKIyKt2IEbSu8cIfZ2DWmHGPv$>

ANUP solely addresses user plane convergence and tries to liaise with 3GPP, but 
I'm afraid this is a half-baked attempt.

Zzh> We’re not trying to boil the ocean. There are many many RFCs in IETF, each 
addressing a particular problem.
Zzh> As far as AN and UPF integration, I believe this document is complete on 
the idea, though the actual specification work will need to be done in 3GPP.

The MUP[*] assumes no change to 5GC, and I think IETF DMM should focus on this 
at least for the time being.

Zzh> I don’t think the DMM WG is resource-stressed to have a narrow focus. This 
does not conflict with the drafts you’re referring to.
Zzh> Thanks.
