[DMM] Re: SRv6 replacement of GTP-U for 6G - Planned proposa l for a 3GPP study

Hello Markus

I am very interested in this activity.

I understand that this needs to be a 3GPP activity but as SRv6 applies beyond the mobile use case I feel it is important that we make the 3GPP a subset of an overall SRv6 network-wide solution.

Please let me know how I can help with both my commercial (Liberty Global) and academic (University of Surrey) ‘hats’ on!

Best regards

David

Subject: [DMM] SRv6 replacement of GTP-U for 6G - Planned proposal for a 3GPP study

Dear DMM and SRv6ops community,

I would like to draw your attention to an activity that we want to bring to 3GPP to investigate for 6G. It is about the replacement of GTP-U by SRv6 for mobile user plane. This should be of particular interest to all operators/vendors already using/implementing SRv6 or planning its introduction.

The last three slides in the slide set at https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/123/materials/slides-123-srv6ops-21-advancing-deutsche-telekoms-traffic-engineering-for-srv6-01 provide more information about our motivation and will be presented by me tomorrow during srv6ops session.

Please read them, attend tomorrow's SRv6ops session or contact me or Maria if you are interested.

We are particularly interested in expanding our round of supporters in 3GPP, getting an assessment from you that you may have already done on this topic and studying with you if 3GPP agrees.

Br

Markus
