Fraunhofer FOKUS
Flexible Data Plane
Bringing even more flexibility to the data paths
Deployment of customized UPFs with added functionality:
- Data flows classification and filtering
- Data traffic scheduling
- Ultra-low delay/real-time processing
- Multi-slice support in the same UPF
- Hold and forward for deterministic networks
- Store and forward for intermittent data paths
Creating ultra-flexible dynamic data paths for the connected subscribers based on:
- The momentary service requirements
- The device context: location, services
- The network context: capacity, congestion state, etc.
