Abstract:

   Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide different customers with
   logically separated connectivity over a common network
   infrastructure.  With the introduction and evolvement of 5G and also
   in some existing network scenarios, some customers may require
   network connectivity services with advanced features comparing to
   conventional VPN services.  Such kind of network service is called
   enhanced VPNs.  Enhanced VPNs can be used, for example, to deliver
   network slice services.

   A Network Resource Partition (NRP) is a subset of the network
   resources and associated policies on each of a connected set of links
   in the underlay network.  An NRP could be used as the underlay to
   support one or a group of enhanced VPN services.  For packet
   forwarding in a specific NRP, some fields in the data packet are used
   to identify the NRP the packet belongs to, so that NRP-specific
   processing can be performed on each node along a path in the NRP.

   This document specifies a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option to carry network
   resource related identifier and information in data packets, which
   could be used to identify NRP-specific processing to be performed on
   the packets by network nodes in the NRP.  The NR Option can also be
   generalized for other network resource semantics and functions.
