A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Service Function Chaining Dataplane Elements in Mobile Networks Authors : Pedro A. Aranda Diego R. Lopez Walter Haeffner Filename : draft-aranda-sf-dp-mobile-00.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2015-10-04 Abstract: The evolution of the network towards 5G implies a challenge for the infrastructure. The targeted services and the full deployment of virtualization in all segments of the network will need service function chains that previously resided in the(local and remote) infrastructure of the Network operators to extend to the radio access network (RAN). The objective of this draft is to provide a non-exhaustive but representative list of service functions in 4G and 5G networks. We base on the problem statement [RFC 7498] and architecture framework [SFC-Arch] of the working group, as well on the existing mobile networks use cases [SFC-mobile-uc] and the requirement gathering process of different initiatives around the world [5GPPP, IMT2020, 5G-FK, IMT2020-CN ] to anticipate network elements that will be needed in 5G networks.
