I support the publication of draft-ietf-dmm-tn-aware-mobility and provide a
few minor comments below, for the authors' consideration.


- #1: /map a 3GPP slice to a slice in an IP transport network provider/map
a 3GPP slice to a slice in an IP transport network/ -OR- /map a 3GPP slice
to an  IP transport network slice at a provider edge/

- #3.1: /end-user (UE) sessions/PDU sessions/, because the term PDU session
is used multiple times in the document already.
  - Note: consider expanding the term UE as User Equipment in the first
occurence of the term in the draft.
  - Note: consider describing the meaning of PDU session at the first
occurence of the term.

- #3.3: consider adding text to define what EP_transport is. E.g., /3GPP
user plane nodes (gNB, UPF) are provisioned with GTP transport interface
information parameters in [TS.28.541-3GPP]./3GPP user plane nodes (gNB,
UPF) are provisioned with GTP end point transport (EP_transport) interface
information parameters in [TS.28.541-3GPP]./
- #3.3: a few sentences could be clarified a bit,I try illustrating below a
few points.
  - "Each EP_Transport is configured with ATTACHMENT_CIRCUIT containing UDP
source port number/range for each of the slices (S-NSSAI) supported by the
3GPP user plane node." Maybe: "Each EP_Transport is configured with an
ATTACHMENT_CIRCUIT containing UDP source port number/range corresponding to
a slice (S-NSSAI) supported by the 3GPP user plane node."
  - "This S-NSSAI in the user plane setup can be used to associate with the
previously configured EP_Transport information per S-NSSAI." Maybe: "This
S-NSSAI in the user plane setup can be associated with one of the
previously configured per-S-NSSAI EP_Transport information."
  - /to that signaled for the PDU session/to the S-NSSAI signaled for the
PDU session/

- #4: About the paragraph "In some E2E scenarios, security is desired
granularly...", I was wondering if the text could cover something more
general than security, e.g., "In some E2E scenarios, additional path
characteristics may be desired in the underlying transport network, such as
security characteristics.". The rest of the paragraph may be adapted
correspondingly, if you agree with this comment. One example of
non-security characteristic that comes to mind is regulatory/legal, e.g.,
the physical location of the path (and this does not need to be spelled out
in the text, this is just for illustrating where my comment comes from).

- #6: /authenticaiton/authentication/

Best Regards,
Xavier
