=== About OsmoUPF
OsmoUPF is the Osmocom implementation of a User Plane Function for 2G, 3G, 4G
and 5G mobile network packet switched user data management. It implements:
- A Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) entity to manage the GTP user
plane of mobile subscribers.
- GTP forwarding as well as encapsulation/decapsulation of user traffic, using
the Linux mainline kernel GTP module.
The aim is to provide:
- 1000 modifications of tunnel state per second (add/remove/modify),
- 4-8 Gbps throughput,
- 100-125k concurrent GTP tunnels.
