One of the key indications of 5GC (5G Core Network) is the efficiency of forwarding data.
5GC needs to forward the user data from wireless access network to the Internet; meanwhile, 5GC will receive the data from the Internet, and forward it to the access network back.
The massive throughput in 5G network all passes through 5GC. The crucial network element in 5GC -- UPF (User Plane Function) is in charge of forwarding the data. Therefore, the total function of 5GC even the whole 5G network is influenced by the capability of UPF.
Regarding the improvement of 5GC UPF, there are three major ways in total: 1. High-performance CPU
It means to deploy the UPF software on a stronger CPU with high performance. 2. Common net card
Net card is the direct way passing a large amount of data, so accelerating the common net card can improve the capability of UPF indirectly. 3. Intelligent ethernet card
Intelligent ethernet card is a special net card with intelligent technology, which can achieve the goal of forwarding data with the enthernet card. It is another way to enhance the capability of 5GC UPF.
The high capability is equal to the high efficiency. The single instance throughput of IPLOOK 5GC UPF is up to 100 Gbps Contact us for more information about IPLOOK UPF.
