Low latency and high data throughput
Applications with strict performance limits are expected to generate significant revenue for operators and will be the focus of many private network investments, across multiple sectors – industrial, broadcast, healthcare, and more. Their success depends on the most robust, reliable network and strict enforcement of SLAs.
To support these, a new COTS modules is now available as an option for Evolver, extending its capabilities with new, high-throughput data generation. This means that Evolver can be used to validate and assure performance for networks that must support the most demanding or mission-critical applications. It is ideal for testing UPF functions deployed for Edge processing, as well as modelling large numbers of subscribers.
Uranium XDP high-performance execution unit
Flexible load generation
Up to 200 Gbps per server load output
With the new module, Evolver can be deployed to test 5G SBA nodes at the throughput demanded by SA-enabled applications. It can also be used for mass testing of subscriber applications. For example, IMS VoLTE performance can be verified under heavy load – with 1m registered subscribers, 1m PDU sessions and for 100,000 RTP streams for each server.
Multiple servers can be used in parallel, allowing even higher loads to be generated to suit the application and use case in question, giving network operators and NEPs true scale to validate performance limits. Latency measurements complete the picture, providing KPIs for service assurance purposes.
Low Latency
The ability to process packets at the NIC level significantly reduces latency, crucial for meeting the stringent requirements of 5G applications.
High throughput
By offloading packet processing to the NIC, large volumes of data can be handled efficiently and at millisecond speeds, with high throughput.
Customisation
Uranium enables network engineers to tailor packet processing logic to specific use cases, allowing for an exceptionally adaptable and customisable 5G testing environment.
COTS hardware and scalability
Testing can be scaled cost-effectively by adding more Uranium units, so it’s easy to grow and increase capacity according to demand.
