Abstract:
   This draft describes a new BGP Network Layer Reachability
   Information (BGP NLRI) Path Attribute, AppMetaData, that can
   distribute the 5G Edge Computing App running status and
   environment, so that other routers in the 5G Local Data
   Network can make intelligent decision on optimized forwarding
   of flows from UEs. The goal is to improve latency and
   performance for 5G Edge Computing services.

   The extension enables a feature, called soft anchoring, which
   makes one Edge Computing Server at one specific location to be
   more preferred than others for the same application to receive
   packets from a specific source (UE).
