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 for the directly
   attached 5G Edge Computing (EC) servers. The AppMetaData can
   be used by the ingress routers in the 5G Local Data Network to
   make path selection not only based on the routing distance but
   also the running environment of the destinations. The goal is
   to improve latency and performance for 5G EC services.

   The extension enables an EC server at one specific location to
   be more preferred than the others with the same IP address to
   receive data flows from a specific source (UE).
