Introduction The [TN-AWARE-MOBILITY-EXT] describes a framework for extending the mobility aware transport network characteristics through the Data Network outside the 5G UPFs. Dunbar, et al.

This document focuses on using FlowSpec to disseminate rules that utilize the mobility aware transport network characteristics to forward 5G flows. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Flow Specification (FlowSpec) [RFC8955] and FlowSpec for IPv6 [RFC8956] leverage the BGP Control Plane to simplify the distribution of rules for the specified flows. FlowSpec filter rules can be injected to all BGP peers simultaneously without changing router configuration. 2.

TN-Aware matching conditions [RFC8955] defines a BGP Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) format used to distribute traffic flow specification rules. The NLRI for (AFI=1, SAFI=133) specifies IPv4 unicast filtering. The NLRI for (AFI=1, SAFI=134) specifies IPv4 BGP/MPLS VPN filtering [RFC7432]. The Flow Specification match part defined in [RFC8955] includes L3/L4 information like IPv4 source/destination prefix, protocol, ports, and the like, so traffic flows can be filtered based on L3/L4 information. This has been extended by [RFC8956] to cover IPv6 (AFI=2) L3/L4. The NLRI FlowSpec components described in RFC8955 and RFC8956 are adequate for specifying the UDP Source Port Range which is Dunbar, et al. Expires October15, 2022 [Page 4] Internet-Draft FlowSpec of TN Aware Mobility June 2022 used to differentiate SLAs of flows from UPFs [EXT-TN-AWARE- Mobility]. The Ingress PE, which is either a function inside UPF or directly connected to UFP, acting as BGP FlowSpec Receiver is assumed to have a BGP FlowSpec session with the FlowSpec Controller. The Mobility traffic destination would resolve in the BGP Peer Next Hop in the data network. The BGP FlowSpec Controller would be programmed with {5G UDP Src Port Range} to map different SSTs defined in [TN-AWARE-MOBILITY] to create internal mapping Table for {5G UDP Src Port Range} < -- > {BGP FlowSpec Generalized Indirection-ID}. The Mobility IP packets coming out of the UPF, i.e., GTP header being decapsulated, carrying specific UDP Source Port can be classified based on the matching policy carried by the FlowSpec NLRI. For example, to filter out flows with source UDP port number between [i, j], the following encoding can be used in the NLRI (SAFI=133 or SAFI 134): Encoding Numberic_Op1 is: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | e | a | len | 0 |lt |gt |eq | | 0 | 1 | 00 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ Numberic_Op2 is: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | e | a | len | 0 |lt |gt |eq | | 1 | 1 | 00 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ Dunbar, et al. Expires October15, 2022 [Page 5] Internet-Draft FlowSpec of TN Aware Mobility June 2022 Where len ==0, meaning two bytes of value [i] follows the Numeric_op1 and two bytes of value [j] follows the Numberic_op2. The "numeric_op3" and "numeric_op4" are for comparing the source and destination addresses of the UE traffic. 4. Redirect a flow over an underlay tunnel For the flows matching with the filter conditions carried by the FlowSpec NLRI, the policy for redirect path can indicate a set of underlay tunnels or one underlay tunnel. As the action of taking specific underlay tunnels is performed by the headend router, a non-transitive Extended Community for Path Redirect [Flowspec-path-redirect] and [SRv6-flowspec-path- redirect] should be used. [IANA Action: need a new type: 0x49 FlowSpec Redirect to Indirection-id Non-transitive Extended Community. ] For hierarchical RR deployments where the FlowSpec rules need to be propagated, the Transitive Path Redirect Extended Community [FlowSpec-path-redirect] can be used. The below figure tries to capture the overall topology, showing the mobility traffic from UPF being redirected to different paths per the BGP FlowSpec from the Controller: Dunbar, et al.

[Note: Type = 0x09 for Transitive FlowSpec Redirect to Indirection-ID Extended Community can also be used for Hierarchical deployment, where the FlowSpec Update needs to be propagated] IPSec SA Sub-Type: 1 octet, its value (TBD) will be assigned by IANA to indicate the ID carried by the Extended Community is IPsec SA ID. Assuming the IPsec SA is pre-established, its Security Association (SA) ID is within a single administrative domain a globally unique identifier. The allocation and establishment of the IPsec SA among peers is outside scope of the document. Dunbar, et al.
