Abstract:

This demo showcased how application-aware G-SRv6 network provides fine-grained traffic steering with more economical IPv6 source routing encapsulation, effectively supporting 5G eMBB, mMTC and uRLLC services. G-SRv6, a new IPv6 source routing paradigm, introduces much less overhead than SRv6 and is fully compatible with SRv6. Up to 75 percent overhead of an SRv6 SID List can be reduced by using 32-bit compressed SID with G-SRv6, allowing most merchant chipsets to support up to 10 SIDs processing without introducing packet recirculation, significantly mitigating the challenges of SRv6 hardware processing overhead and facilitating large-scale SRv6 deployments. Furthermore, for the first time, by integrating with Application-aware IPv6 networking (APN6), the G-SRv6 network ingress node is able to steer a particular application flow into an appropriate G-SRv6 TE policy to guarantee its SLA requirements and save the transmission overhead in the meanwhile.
