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 12):
The network of  claim 1 , comprising:\n a Session Management Function (SMF) or a Mobility Management Entity (MME) performing operations including providing the particular network node with a lookup key; and a second network node or function performing operations including in response to receiving the lookup key said provided to the particular network node, identifying said specific segment routing policy and providing the particular network node with said specific segment routing policy prior to the particular network node said encapsulating the specific packet in the specific segment routing packet.
