Route Configuration Method and Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156719 titled 'Route Configuration Method and Apparatus

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a route configuration method and apparatus in the field of communication technologies. The method involves a session management network element obtaining VLAN information of a first port, which corresponds to an established PDU session of a first terminal, on a first user plane network element. The session management network element then generates first and second routing information based on the VLAN information and sends it to the first user plane network element.

  • The method involves obtaining VLAN information of a port corresponding to an established PDU session.
  • The session management network element generates routing information based on the VLAN information.
  • The routing information is sent to the user plane network element serving the terminal.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in communication networks to configure routes for PDU sessions.
  • It can be used in various network infrastructures to optimize routing and improve network performance.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently configuring routes for PDU sessions in communication networks.
  • It simplifies the process of generating routing information based on VLAN information.

Benefits

  • The method provides a simplified and efficient route configuration process.
  • It improves network performance by optimizing routing based on VLAN information.
  • It reduces the complexity of configuring routes for PDU sessions.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a route configuration method and an apparatus, and relates to the field of communication technologies. The route configuration method includes: A session management network element obtains VLAN information of a first port, where the first port is a port, which corresponds to an established PDU session of a first terminal, on a first user plane network element, and the first user plane network element is a user plane network element that serves the first terminal. The session management network element generates first routing information and second routing information based on the VLAN information of the first port, and sends the first routing information and the second routing information to the first user plane network element.
