Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) Optimization

Modern telecommunications networks leverage Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) architectures to decouple slow network control software from high-speed packet-forwarding hardware. However, without a programmable data plane, the separated user plane switches remain blind to real-time network path conditions.

❌ The Blind User Plane: Standard CUPS configurations route user traffic down static paths, completely unaware of localized fiber cuts, latency degradation, or core congestion spikes.

🚀 The Programmable User Plane: SRv6 Tek Innovations optimizes CUPS deployments by running segment routing Flex-Algo mappings across the distributed user plane switches.

Our architecture connects control plane intent with real-time hardware execution:
➡ Dynamic Path Mapping: The centralized control plane provisions custom routing planes (Flex-Algos) based on specific subscriber service level agreements (SLAs).
➡ Hardware-Enforced Path Adherence: User plane switches steer packets along explicitly isolated paths using compressed 16-bit uSIDs, bypassing congested lines automatically.
➡ stateless Operation at Scale: User plane routing nodes remain fully stateless, maximizing packet switching performance while reducing CPU heat metrics.

Deliver smart, responsive, and fully automated mobile core services.
