1. A method performed by a next generation node B (gNB) for transporting a multi-transport network context identifier (MTNC-ID) over a segment routing version 6 (SRV6) enabled data plane for fifth generation (5G) transport, the method comprising:
setting an indicator in a flags field of a SRV6 header of a data packet that an MTNC-ID type-length-value (TLV) is included in a TLV field of the SRV6 header;
inserting the MTNC-ID TLV for the MTNC-ID in the TLV field of the SRV6 header of the data packet; and
transmitting the data packet over the SRV6 enabled data plane to a next node along 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.
