TurboEPC - Offloading Mobile Packet Core Control Plane to Programmable Dataplane

Summary :

TurboEPC redesigns the mobile packet core by offloading a portion of signaling message processing to programmable dataplane switches, alleviating control plane bottlenecks and reducing latency. The approach partitions user state across switches, supports replication for fault tolerance, and implements series and parallel switch designs for scalability. Hardware and software prototypes demonstrate up to 102% throughput increase and 98% latency reduction.
