Accelerating virtual BRAS data plane throughput

“The foundation of any CSP is its connectivity, without which there is no network, and therefore no customers (and by definition, no revenue). The standard for connectivity within the teleco mindustry is Carrier Ethernet, an extension

Traditionally, monolithic network deployments have incorporated a base station at the cell tower, which has included therein all the necessary data processing to then forward the data on to the core of the network. Among the

It has now been about a year since COVID-19 began wreaking havoc. Any discussion of COVID-19 vis a vis the telecom industry is trivial in comparison to the loss and devastation that the virus has brought

At this point in the 5G rollout, it’s safe to say that most providers are satisfied with the capacity of their UPF (User Plane Functionality) software. As the primary data processing platform between the Radio Access

Well, 2020 is finally over, and hopefully, as 2021 is ushered in, the new yearwill be accompanied by better news in terms of world health and economicprosperity. The telecommunications industry seems to have weathered the COVIDstorm,

It has now been about a year since COVID-19 began wreaking havoc. Any discussion of COVID-19 vis a vis the telecom industry is trivial in comparison to the loss and devastation that the virus has brought

While we have been promised 10 Gbps download speeds with 5G, an order of magnitude higher than its 4G predecessor, there are inherent challenges in 5G infrastructure. The major tradeoff of 5G technology is higher speed

Traditionally, monolithic network deployments have incorporated a base station at the cell tower, which has included therein all the necessary data processing to then forward the data on to the core of the network. Among the

The shift toward network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networks (SDN) represents the most transformative architectural network trend in nearly 20 years. With their promise of open systems and network neutrality, NFV and SDN stand poised

The foundation of any CSP is its connectivity, without which there is no network, and therefore no customers (and by definition, no revenue). The standard for connectivity within the teleco mindustry is Carrier Ethernet, an extension

“As communications service providers and large central cloud providers extend their virtual infrastructure toward the edge, technology is required to overcome the unique challenges that arise. When virtual networking applications are run through software programmed on

Traditionally, servers have made use of network interface cards (NICs) to achieve basic Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity. The idea of including Layer 3 routing and forwarding, however, has never been included within a server, as it
