  2. Problem Statement DHCPServer CPE NPE GRE Tunnel GRE Tunnel Provider Internet • In MSO or mobile hotspot scenario, the GRE tunnels between CPEs and the NPE are established to carry user data. • Auto-configuration and dynamic management are required for large numbers of CPEs to discover the address of NPE and for NPE to configure GRE tunnel. • DHCP(v6) option is extended to support NPE discovery

  3. Dynamic GRE Tunnel • NPE discovery on CPE • To set up a GRE tunnel, a CPE send a DHCP Request to get the NPE address and other tunnel parameters such as GRE Key, Version, Protocol Type • The DHCP GRE Discovery (GD) Option is defined in the following page. • Establishment Phase • For CPE, the GRE tunnel is set up after receiving DHCP GD Option. • When NPE receives the packet with GRE encapsulation with a new client address, the NPE can records the assigned UE's address, which is the inner address of GRE encapsulated packet . • Keepalive Phase • If there is no data packet for a period of time, the NPE will tear down the tunnel and release the resource.

  5. DHCPv4 GRE Discovery Option • Code: TBD • Ver: The version number of GRE protocol, contained in GER header. • Reserved: This field is reserved for future use. • Protocol Type: The Protocol Type Field contains the protocol type of the payload packet. • NPE Address: NPE IPv4 Address, the endpoint of GRE tunnel.

  6. DHCPv6 GRE Discovery Option • Code: TBD • Ver: The version number contained in GER header. • Reserved: This field is reserved for future use. • Protocol Type: The Protocol Type Field contains the protocol type of the payload packet. • NPE Address: NPE IPv6 Address, the endpoint of GRE tunnel.

  7. GRE Key • DHCPv4 GRE Key Sub-Option (Optional) • Code: TBD • DHCPv6 GRE Key Option (Optional) • Code: TBD • Optionally, DHCPv6 GRE Key Option is encapsulated in DHCPv6 GRE Discovery Option • GRE Key: GRE Key is generated from RFC2890. If the client receives the GRE Key Sub-Option, the Key MUST be inserted into the GRE encapsulation header
