      <abstract>
	 <t>   [I-D.zzhang-dmm-5g-distributed-upf] describes evolution of mobile
   user plane in 5G, including distributed UPFs and alternative user
   plane implementations that some vendors/operators are pushing without
   changing 3GPP architecture/signaling.  Building on top of that, this
   document further discusses potentially integrating UPF and Acess Node
   (AN) in a future generation (xG) of mobile network.

   This document is not an attempt to do 3GPP work in IETF.  Rather, it
   discusses potential integration of IETF/wireline and 3GPP/wireless
   technologies - first among parties who are familiar with both areas
   and friendly with IETF/wireline technologies.  If the ideas in this
   document are deemed reasonable, feasible and desired among these
   parties, they can then be brought to 3GPP for further discussions.
