Abstract:
In one embodiment, a segment routing and tunnel exchange provides packet forwarding efficiencies in a network, including providing an exchange between a segment routing domain and a packet tunnel domain. One application includes the segment routing and tunnel exchange interfacing segment routing packet forwarding (e.g., in a Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and/or 5-G user plane) and packet tunnel forwarding in access networks (e.g., replacing a portion of a tunnel between an access node and a user plane function for accessing a corresponding data network). In one embodiment, a network provides mobility services using a segment routing data plane that spans segment routing and tunnel exchange(s) and segment routing-enabled user plane functions. One embodiment uses the segment routing data plane without any modification to a (radio) access network (R)AN (e.g., Evolved NodeB, Next Generation NodeB) nor to user equipment (e.g., any end user device).

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 14 , comprising:\n receiving the tunnel endpoint identifier and the particular IP destination address by an access node from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) or a Mobility Management Entity (MME); receiving the particular packet by the access node; creating the particular IP tunnel packet said received by the segment routing and tunnel exchange, with said creating being performed by the access node based on said received tunnel endpoint identifier, said received particular IP destination address, and said received particular packet; and sending the particular tunnel packet from the access node.
