摘要:
Presented herein are techniques that provide for a way to associate a policy, or signal the policy for a user equipment (UE), directly from the UE traffic, inband or, in other words, within the data plane. The policies are effectively embedded in the address of the UE traffic. When the Neutral Host Network (NHN) receives the UE traffic, the policy can be determined directly from the address associated with the UE traffic. This provides for a unique way of integrating a service chain identifier in the Internet Protocol address of the UE to identify the services/policies to be applied to UE traffic in a stateless manner.
