| Led by Aarna Networks, this project is demonstrates end-to-end network slicing of the core network and RAN using open source components. It realizes network deployment with cloud native network functions (CNFs) using EMCO, the End-to-End network slice creation wherein the Core Network (CN) is open source Free5GC (v3.2.1), and the RAN is open source UERANSIM (v3.2.6) as an integrated gNB. | ||
L3AF Integration with 5G-UPF (User Plane Function) | L3AF introduces a comprehensive UPF architecture with support for hooks through AF_XDP. This allows developers to integrate custom multiple eBPF programs to enhance packet processing capabilities, offering greater control and flexibility in handling network traffic. 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.

| 5G Cloud Native Network | This Proof-of-Concept, first shown at ONE Summit 2021, demonstrates the value of network slicing by showing the impact using a video delivery use case, and tackles the challenge of provisioning a network slice from the back-office through the core to the edge and radio. The project further shows the interfaces necessary for orchestrating slicing, and sets the stage for full private mobile networking. |
