5G-Cloud Application
5G-Core is a service-based architecture in which many control plane network functions are available and communication across these network functions happens through HTTP2 protocol. These HTTP2 transactions are mirrored using some specific network functions, which are in JSON-encoded format.
The 5G Cloud application supports synthesizing of L2, L3, L4, and HTTP2 headers from the JSON-encoded data of the 5G core network. Currently, Ericsson VTAP 5G core input format is supported in DPDK based platforms and in non-DPDK based platforms, Casa vTAP, Oracle SCP, Nokia SCP Inbound, and Nokia SCP Inbound/Outbound input formats are supported.
In non-DPDK mode, V Series Node supports processing of the HTTP2/HTTP2S input formats and extracts the actual packet in the 5G core, and then sends it out on the egress tunnel to probe using either VXLAN or L2GRE or UDP-GRE Tunnel. To achieve this, V Series supports two new applications:
