In this Event we will be showing the Integration of L3af with 5G-UPF(User Plane Function)

Topic Overview

In this event we will demonstrate the Integration of L3af with 5G-UPF (User Plane Function). This session will cover important aspects such as:

...

Advantages of the L3af Approach:
The L3af approach brings several advantages. It enables developers to create multiple eBPF programs to enhance UPF functionality, resulting in efficient packet processing and improved network performance. Additionally, L3af provides horizontal and vertical scaling options, allowing the deployment of multiple UPFs with multiple eBPF programs.

L3af Demo:
The L3af project showcases a demo highlighting the capabilities and benefits of integrating eBPF and AFXDP into the UPF architecture. This demonstration serves as a practical illustration of the improved scalability, flexibility, and performance offered by L3af.

Future Plans:
The L3af project has ambitious future plans, including the integration of Bess (a modular framework for dataplane processing) into the UPF architecture. This integration will enable more advanced packet processing capabilities and further enhance the overall performance of L3af. Additionally, L3af aims to explore the potential of packet processing solely within the kernel using eBPF, offering improved efficiency and reduced overhead.
