Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) are the two fundamental paradigms that introduce concealed flexibility in communication systems. 5G has adopted SDN/NFV to make Network Functions (NFs) as virtualized software modules which run on top of commodity hardware. 5G aims to expand its reach to various business verticals and serve diverse users using network slicing which creates multiple logical networks on top of a shared infrastructure. This paper proposes a novel OpenNetVM based 5G framework (ONVM-5G) which uses Data Plane Development Kit for the communication between the core NFs and thus, is a candidate solution for implementing 5G core (5GC) in a box. The proposed framework based deployment of network slices enhances the user experience by reducing the latency involved in performing various User Equipment activities and increasing data plane throughput. Moreover, ONVM-5G also helps in achieving the 5G goals by allowing the network operators to efficiently serve the users in small dense cells and make service level isolation among the diverse users through network slicing by providing a network in a box like deployment of 5GC.

ONVM-5G：使用DPDK在盒子中实现5G核心的框架

软件定义网络（SDN）和网络功能虚拟化（NFV）是在通信系统中引入隐式灵活性的两个基本范例。5G已采用SDN / NFV来使网络功能（NF）成为运行在商用硬件之上的虚拟化软件模块。5G旨在通过网络切片将其覆盖范围扩展到各个业务领域，并为不同的用户提供服务，该切片在共享基础架构之上创建了多个逻辑网络。本文提出了一种新颖的基于OpenNetVM的5G框架（ONVM-5G），该框架使用Data Plane Development Kit进行核心NF之间的通信，因此是在一个盒子中实现5G核心（5GC）的候选解决方案。所提出的基于框架的网络切片部署通过减少执行各种用户设备活动所涉及的等待时间并增加数据平面吞吐量来增强用户体验。此外，ONVM-5G还通过允许网络运营商有效地为小型密集小区中的用户提供服务，并通过像在5GC部署中一样在一个盒子中提供网络来通过网络切片在不同用户之间实现服务级别隔离，从而帮助实现5G目标。
