Hi Chongfeng,

Related to item 3) I am trying to describe the normal 3GPP use case in 5G SA 
where for a single PDU Session multiple flows with different gtpuQFI will have 
the same gtpuTEID.

Related to item 5)  -  The use of the IPFIX GTP-U IEs is to identify either a 
particular PDU Session on a particular slice (using gtpTEid in combination with 
the gNB and the UPD IP addresses) or all the IP traffic flows for a 3GPP QoS 
flow on a slice (using gtpuQFI in combination with the gNB and the UPF IP 
addresses ) or a 3GPP QoS flow for a particular PDU Session on a slice by using 
both gtpTEid and gtpuQFI in combination with the gNB and UPF IP addresses).

Regards,
Cristian

Subject: [EXT][OPSAWG]Comments on draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-gtpu


Hi authors,

I have reviewed draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-gtpu, and have the following editorial 
suggestions and questions,

Editorial suggestions,

1)  In the abstract section , there is,
    "Generic Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol"

     It can be changed to,
    "Generic Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol(GTP)"

2) In section 1, there is,
   "A dedicated header, called GPRS Tunneling Protocol Header (GTP),"

   It can be changed to
   "A dedicated header, called GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) Header, "

Some questions related to section 4 (Sample Use Cases),

3) In section 4, there is,
 “It is possible that within the same PDU session there might be multiple IP 
flows having the same attributes.”
  What is the key point does this sentence intend to express? What's the 
relationship of it with the IPFIX GTP-U IEs being defined in this draft?

4) In Section 4, there is,
  “exporting GTP-U IEs together with transportChecksum IE would help detect 
misbehaving nodes particularly when using GTP-U over IPv6.”

  What are the specific particularities in the context of IPv6? Could this be 
elaborated a little more?

5)  In section 4,
The second paragrph illustrate how to identify a traffic flow in the case of 
when a set of UPFs are deployed per 5G slice, the information used is either 
existing GTP-U fields or the IP addresses of the devices, can you please 
elaborate on the role of IPFIX GTP-U IEs in this case?

Thank you!

Best regards
Chongfeng
