Abstract:
   This draft describes a new AppMetaData subTLV carried by
   Tunnel Encap[RFC9012] Path Attribute for egress router to
   advertise the running status and environment of the directly
   attached 5G Edge Computing servers. The AppMetaData can be
   used by the ingress routers in the 5G Local Data Network to
   make intelligent path selection for 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).
