Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method of paging policy differentiation in a 5G telecommunications network is provided. A User Plane Function (UPF) receives downlink data for a target User Equipment (UE), and provides a data notification to a Session Management Function (SMF), the data notification comprising a Quality of Service (QoS) indicator, which the SMF uses to determine QoS Information (QoSI) that is sent to an Access Management Function (AMF). The AMF determines whether a paging policy selection should be performed by the AMF or by a Radio Access Node (RAN) that serves the target UE: if by the AMF, the AMF selects a paging policy based on the QoSI and sends a paging message to the RAN, which pages the UE; if by the RAN, the AMF provides paging policy information to the RAN, which selects a paging policy and pages the UE accordingly.

Abstract: Problems associated with providing a large Clos network having at least one top of fabric (ToF) node, a plurality of internal nodes, and a plurality of leaf nodes may be solved by: (a) providing L2 tunnels between each of the leaf nodes of the Clos and one or more of the at least one ToF node to ensure a non-partitioned IGP L2 backbone, and (b) identifying the L2 tunnels as non-forwarding adjacencies in link state topology information stored in ToF node(s) and leaf node(s) such that the L2 tunnels are not used for forwarding traffic. In some example implementations consistent with the present disclosure, the L2 tunnels are not used to compute routes from the link state topology information. Alternatively, in some other example implementations consistent with the present disclosure, the L2 tunnels are used to compute routes, but such routes are not used, or only used if no routes using only L1 (or L1-down adjacencies) are available.
