Issues

• 38. Should APN be applied to multiple transport/underlay protocols or should it be better to pick just one and use it in all APN-enabled networks?

• 37. We also need more understanding of how APN is relevant in encrypted environments.

• 36. The APN attribute should not become a way of carrying arbitrary metadata. It is not clear at this stage what information needs to be in the APN attribute versus what information could be in the APN attribute.

• 35. Use cases need to explain more about what is needed from the APN attribute and what policies are applied in the network. We need more detailed "killer" use case examples.

• 30. Looking 6437 IPv6 flow label and DetNet, they already solve this problem. Don’t need another mechanism. If a problem does exist it does not have to be solve in the data plane, it could be the management plane. From: Greg Mirsky

• 29. Why do we need an agnostic mechanisms instead of just hacking into existing mechanism individually? This adds to why having a single WG to focus on a technology agnostic mechanism would be useful before various data plane encapsulations are developed separately. From: Dhruv Dhody
