Cong Zhou, Baokang Zhao, Baosheng Wang · 2022
User Plane Function (UPF) plays a crucial role in the 5G core network, which is vital to improve UPF performance. In this prototype, we provide novel UPF architecture with a programmable switch. The implemented UPF prototype can provide up to 100Gbps matching throughput within 1 microsecond(us) latency. Moreover, the prototype is feasible in the real network.
