Abstract With the rapid development of 5G technology, more and more application scenarios require UPF forwarding models that support 5G LAN to meet the growing data requirements. However, traditional network architectures may have performance bottlenecks and lack of scalability in the face of 5G networks. Therefore, this study aims to design an optimized UPF forwarding model to improve data processing efficiency, reduce latency, and ensure network performance in line with 5G standards. Based on the detailed analysis of the hardware design, data plane and control plane architecture of UPF forwarding model, as well as the interface design with 5G core network, a UPF software architecture is proposed to optimize the data processing flow and improve the forwarding efficiency. The experimental results show that the model has stable performance under different time nodes, and can meet the requirements of real-time and reliability in 5G LAN networks.
