Dynamic Stateless GRE Tunnel Li Xue Dayong Guo * Problem Statement GRE Tunnel GRE Tunnel Internet Provider DHCP Server NPE CPE 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 * 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 UEs 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. * Procedure (NPE) (DHCP Server) (CPE) Encap/Decap User Packet in GRE Encap Encap/Decap.
