Disaggregating the UPF with CUPS

To successfully scale edge computing environments, modern telecom operators must implement CUPS (Control and User Plane Separation), a 3GPP architectural standard that decouples mobile session control from actual packet forwarding hardware.

❌ The Execution Bottleneck: Even with CUPS, if the underlying network uses legacy encapsulation to connect control nodes to user plane functions (UPFs), the transport layer introduces processing delays and configuration complexity.

🚀 The High-Performance Fix: SRv6 Tek Innovations pairs CUPS methodologies directly with native SRv6 uSID transport frameworks.

Our design enables highly efficient, edge-computing deployments:
✅ Stateless UPF Provisioning: Shifting user-session routing instructions entirely into the packet header, allowing edge UPFs to process traffic at pure hardware line-rate.
✅ Dynamic Traffic Redirection: Utilizing local network policies to automatically break out edge-bound application traffic directly at the access node.
✅ Simplified Core Aggregation: Merging thousands of distributed mobile user streams into a clean, unencapsulated IPv6 transport backbone.

Unlock the performance potential of your 5G edge investments by optimizing your user plane.
