Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for configuring N6-LAN chain policies. One apparatus includes a processor and a network interface that receives a first request from an application function ('AF'), the first request comprising an external identifier for at least one user equipment (“UE”) and N6-LAN steering information indicating a service function or a chain of service functions in the N6-LAN that must process the user-plane traffic associated with the at least one UE. The processor translates the external identifier into a permanent subscription identifier of the at least one UE and sends a second request to a first network function to update an application data set to include the N6-LAN steering information and the permanent subscription identifier.
