From: STARK, BARBARA H [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2021 4:53 AM To: Lizhenbin <[email protected]>; '[email protected]' <[email protected]>; 'RTGWG' <[email protected]> Cc: '6MAN' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Clarification on the BNG deployment//RE: Application-Aware Networking (APN) focused interim It seems odd not to consider a broadband deployment architecture like https://www.broadband-forum.org/technical/download/TR-470.pdf in the context of wanting to enable improved usage of network slicing and such. The BNG architecture does what it was intended to do: Ethernet aggregation. If you want to do something else, you should probably consider a different architecture (or consider working with BBF to evolve its BNG architecture into something different -- if you don't want the AGF architecture with a 5G-RG described in the above link). Note the BNG is a BBF-defined network element. AFAIK, it was originally defined in: https://www.broadband-forum.org/technical/download/TR-101_Issue-2.pdf To Michael's comments: While there are still some (many?) operators who use PPPoE, I'm aware of major operators who use BNGs without PPP or PPPoE. PPP is not a core function when operating a BNG in an access network. Ethernet-based aggregation is the central feature that defines a BNG. [Robin] Thanks for your information on the network architecture of the BNG. As what I reply Michael, in the home broadband scenario, we focus on the metro network and the case that the existing L2 information in the packet can also be used to map to the APN ID. There may be more existing information from the PPPOE or IPOE packet header. We can take them into account. Your information is a good input to prioritize the possible existing information. So, again, if someone wants to do network slicing instead of Ethernet aggregation (based on VLAN tags), they are right that the BNG is not the right access architecture component. The AGF with a 5G-RG is much better suited to supporting network slicing. Fortunately, a specification already exists for that architecture (complete with detailed requirements for the 5G-RG [in TR-124] and how to manage the 5G-RG using TR-181). [Robin] The network slice described in the drafts of the APN work is the IETF network slice scenario in the metro network or the mobile transport network. The edge can steer the packet to the corresponding IETF network slice according to the policy matching the APN ID.

In the section 5 of the following draft, there is more details about the scenarios. https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-li-apn-problem-statement-usecases-03.txt<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-li-apn-problem-statement-usecases-03.txt__;!!BhdT!3x44cVFathXW5PntzRYHyVvBmnpz1XlgAyiKPu5OZGeTMI8ZIF8YEX9EiAnJ_w$> As far as I know, there are types of deployment of BNGs in the scenarios: 1. RG is directly connected with the BNG 2. RG is connected spanning the metro network. Because the BNG is responsible for the user management, if failure happens, it will have much negative effect on the users' access to the Internet or other network services. If the second deployment method is used, the number of the BNG is small and the BNG can access more users, but the risk is high. If the first deployment is adopted, it may need more BNGs, but the risk can be low. So there is the trade-off in the network design and the deployment of the BNG. The draft takes the second deployment to illustrate that the QinQ information besides the 5-tuple information can also be mapped to APN ID when the packet traverses the metro network. That is the reason why not describe the first type of deployment.

Please find the meeting information shared by the Chairs of the RTG WG below. In this APN Interim meeting, we are going to focus more on the discussions of the solutions (more overview than details), including 1. the design of the APN attribute itself 2. the encapsulation of the APN attribute on the various data planes (the encapsulation on the IPv6 data plane is an example) 3. the control plane protocols extensions for exchanging the APN attribute 4. NETCONF/YANG models for the NBI and SBI You are very welcomed to join the discussions, and your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you!
