Background on Flow Filtering via Background on Flow Filtering via BearersBearers
Flow filtering via 3GPP Bearers:◦ For improved QoS, one or more dedicated
bearer creation initiated by P-GW◦ B1->default bearer◦ B2 ->dedicated bearer
◦ Each dedicated bearer (and in some cases default bearer) assigned a TFT
◦ B1-> packet filter 1, packet filter 2◦ B2-> packet filter 3, packet filter 4
◦ Data flow that can be matched to a packet filter of TFT, is attached with appropriate Bearer ID
◦ Data packet matching Packet filter 3 has B2 attached to it
◦ Bearer ID embedded in data packet, helps the gateways to identify the needed QoS treatment

P-GW supports flow filtering to interface and flow filtering to bearers
If WiFi access is default access, MN will send flow binding BU to ensure flows tied to packet filter 3 and packet filter 4 receive QoS
P-GW filters only data flows tied to Packet filter 3 and packet filter 4 via 3G
During 3G filtering, flows tied to packet filter 3 and packet filter 4 will be filtered to bearer B2

Motivation for using TFT as Motivation for using TFT as Traffic SelectorTraffic Selector All packets, filtered to 3G interface at the IPv6 layer will need
to match Packet filters of TFT. Otherwise packet loss can occur.
Sending Reference to TFT in flow binding solves this issue
P-GW has packet filters with appropriate descriptions stored. Thus, flow binding BU need not have explicit flow descriptors in the traffic selector sub-option.
Using TFT as traffic descriptor, reduces flow binding BU packet size
If new packet filters are added to a TFT by P-GW, only a refresh flow binding signal is sufficient rather than sending a new flow binding BU for the new packet filters created.
Reduces flow binding signaling and saves battery power of MN
If packet filters are removed from the TFT, again only a single refresh flow binding BU is necessary rather than performing removal for multiple packet filters.
Reduces flow binding signaling and saves battery power of MN
ObjectiveObjective of this Work
To propose a new Traffic Selector format to be used for the Traffic Selector Sub-option proposed in the MEXT flow binding draft
Introduce a new traffic selector sub option format in parallel to the currently available binary traffic selector format, to address flow binding in a 3GPP specific scenario
Introduce a new format value for the TS field of the traffic selector sub option and use a new data field value for the traffic selector field

Impact of TFT State Change on Flow Impact of TFT State Change on Flow Binding Rules with TFT ReferenceBinding Rules with TFT Reference
Creation of TFT by P-GW◦ MN will send Flow binding BU with TFT ref in traffic selector
sub-option if MN wants packet filters tied to new TFT to be sent via 3G and receive appropriate QoS
Changing TFT by P-GW◦ If new packet filter added to TFT, MN may perform Refresh
Flow binding BU as in MEXT flow binding draft to get adequate QOS for new packet filter
◦ If packet filter is removed from a TFT, MN may perform Refresh Flow binding BU as in MEXT flow binding draft and decide to send the flows tied to deleted packet descriptors via the default path (WiFi)
Removal of TFT by P-GW◦ MN needs to send flow binding deletion BU as in MEXT flow
binding draft if MN decides the flows tied to deleted TFT need not traverse via the 3G interface

Way ForwardWay Forward
Are people convinced that the TFT Reference TS format is useful to be applied in 3GPP scenario?
Do people think, that this TFT Reference format is a needed work and IETF should do it?
Any possibility of adopting it as a WG item?
