Abstract
A routing rule configuration method and a communications apparatus are provided, where after receiving a PDU session establishment request from a first terminal, a session management function network element generates, based on first information including information used to indicate to forward a data packet through an N6 interface, a routing rule used to indicate to send the data packet of a 5G LAN group to which the first terminal belongs to the N6 interface or discard the data packet. The session management function network element can determine a routing rule for an N6-based forwarding manner based on the first information.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a first terminal, a session establishment request comprising a data network name (DNN);
- determining, based on the DNN, a local area network (LAN) group to which the first terminal belongs;
- generating, based on first information indicating whether a forwarding manner of a data packet for the LAN group through a data network is used, a routing rule indicating to forward the data packet, that does not match any packet detection rule (PDR) for a specific data flow, through the data network or discard the data packet, wherein the routing rule corresponds to the LAN group;
- and
- configuring the routing rule on a first user plane function network element providing a service for the LAN group.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store program instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a first terminal, a session establishment request comprising a data network name (DNN);
- determine, based on the DNN, a local area network (LAN) group to which the first terminal belongs;
- generate, based on first information indicating whether a forwarding manner of a data packet for the LAN group through a data network is used, a routing rule indicating to forward the data packet, that does not match any packet detection rule (PDR) for a specific data flow, through the data network or discard the data packet, wherein the routing rule corresponds to the LAN group;
- and
- configure the routing rule on a first user plane function network element providing a service for the LAN group.
A computer program product comprising instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer medium and that, when executed by a processor of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a first terminal, a session establishment request comprising a data network name (DNN);
- determine, based on the DNN, a local area network (LAN) group to which the first terminal belongs;
- generate, based on first information indicating whether a forwarding manner of a data packet for the LAN group through a data network is used, a routing rule indicating to forward the data packet, that does not match any packet detection rule (PDR) for a specific data flow, through the data network or discard the data packet, wherein the routing rule corresponds to the LAN group;
- and
- configure the routing rule on a first user plane function network element providing a service for the LAN group.
