fiveg_n4
Developer documentation
Usage
Within 5G, the User Plane Function (UPF) supports features and capabilities to facilitate user plane operation. Examples include: packet routing and forwarding, interconnection to the Data Network, policy enforcement and data buffering.
The fiveg_n4
relation interface describes the expected behavior of any charm claiming to be able
to provide or consume the UPF information in order to establish communication over the N4 interface.
In a typical 5G network, the N4 interface is used between UPF and SMF.
Direction
As with all Juju relations, the fiveg_n4
interface consists of two parties: a Provider
and a Requirer.
Behavior
Both the Requirer and the Provider need to adhere to criteria to be considered compatible with the interface.
Provider
- Is expected to provide the hostname and the port of the UPF's N4 interface.
Requirer
- Is expected to consume the hostname and the port of the UPF's N4 interface in order to establish communication over that interface.
