Claim 16:
17. A system for transporting a Multi-Transport Network Context Identifier (MTNC-ID) over Segment Routing Version 6 (SRV6) enabled data plane for fifth generation (5G) transport, the system comprising:
a memory comprising instructions; and
a processor in communication with the memory, the processor executing the instructions to:
receive a data packet having a SRV6 header comprising a segment list;
process the segment list;
after processing a last segment of the segment list, determining whether a type-length-value (TLV) field of the SRV6 header of the data packet includes an MTNC-ID TLV associated with the segment list;
responsive to a determination that the TLV field of the SRV6 header of the data packet includes the MTNC-ID TLV, extract an MTNC-ID from the MTNC-ID TLV associated with the segment list;
insert the MTNC-ID into a data plane header of the data packet; and
transmit the data packet with the MTNC-ID in the data plane header of the data packet to an autonomous system boundary router (ASBR) of a next domain based on a forwarding path corresponding to the MTNC-ID, wherein the MTNC-ID is associated with a set of resource provisioning requirements for one or more transport networks on the forwarding path to provision transport resources for forwarding traffic on the forwarding path.
