    Abstract: Techniques are described for determine a type of Radio Access Network (RAN) sharing employed within a network. In one example, a computing system receives a message for implementing a network slice of a RAN comprising a profile including a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identifier for the RAN and a first operating bands value. Based on determining that another RAN slice subnet is provisioned within the RAN with a second PLMN identifier and the first operating bands value, the computing system determines a RAN sharing type is Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN). Based on determining that no RAN slice subnet is provisioned within the RAN with the second PLMN identifier and the first operating bands value, the computing system determines the RAN sharing type is Multi-Operator RAN (MORAN). The computing system forwards network traffic for subscriber devices in accordance with the determined RAN sharing type.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for extending Mobile User Plane-Gateway architecture Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signaling to an integrated Access Network-User Plane (ANUP) function in mobile networks. In an example, a method comprises receiving, by a computing system, a routing protocol message comprising second tunnel information for a packet data unit (PDU) session for a User Equipment (UE) and comprising data indicating a routing instance or a UE address for the User Equipment; by the computing system, based on matching the second tunnel information with first tunnel information sent or received on an interface with a mobile network control plane function, generating forwarding information to map the UE address to the PDU session or to map the PDU session to the routing instance; and based on the forwarding information, outputting, by the computing system, a packet associated with the PDU session.
