Abstract:
Methods for configuring user plane functions associated with a network slice. The methods include: creating a mapping between a network slice instance and a respective TNL marker; selecting the network slice in response to a service request; identifying the respective TNL marker based on the mapping and the selected network slice; and communicating the identified TNL marker to a control plane function.

Claim (Index 9):
A configuration management function of a network including a core network and an access network; the configuration management function comprising:\n at least one processor; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including software instructions configured to control the at least one processor to implement steps of:\n obtaining, from a Transport Network Layer of the network, a TNL marker for a network slice instance; and \n communicating a mapping between the obtained TNL marker and the network slice instance to a control plane function of the network.
