Course Details
With service providers seeking to rationalize the core network for both
4G and 5G operation, CUPS (Control and User Plane Separation of EPC
Nodes) is a key transition technology which sees logical separation of
key EPC nodes such as the S-GW, P-GW and TDF. This course explores the
key concepts behind CUPS, include the main architectural changes that
CUPS introduces. PFCP (Packet Forwarding Control Protocol) is also
examined, with key messages for node and session management explored.
Finally, the impact of CUPS on key EPC procedures will be discussed.
