Broadband Network Gateway evolution with control and user plane separation
Wireline and fixed-wireless access networks are evolving, with a convergence path in 5G. 5G introduces a programmable and modular service architecture in which control and user plane functions are disaggregated and separated.
This application note discusses how a disaggregated Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) with Control User Plane Separation (CUPS) offers operators more flexibility to optimally scale wireline and fixed-wireless access deployments.
