The paper’s primary focus is on the End-to-End (E2E) perspective across the 5G domain and its sub-domains. These subdomains are the RAN (radio access network), the 5G Core infrastructure, the applications and functions residing in the RAN and Core, and the E2E services that span across the network, which includes the CPE (customer premises equipment) devices.

As the momentum behind Open RAN continues to grow, it is natural that relevant experts and decision makers want to understand its progress and how the Open RAN industry has risen to the challenges, in particular relating to maturity, security and energy efficiency. Over the course of 2022, Open RAN MoU Operators encouraged an open dialogue about Open RAN and have taken steps to understand concerns and address valid questions.

5G network slicing is an ideal choice to enable smart grid services. It divides the 5G network into logically isolated networks, where each one could be seen as a slice. 5G network slicing allows the power grid to flexibly customize specific slices with different network functions and different service level agreement (SLA) assurances according to the different requirements of the various services on a power grid.

The document discusses load balancer design considerations and deployment options in Cisco ACI, specifically with F5 BIG-IP from three aspects: network design, F5 design, and multi-tenant design. This document covers features up to Cisco ACI Release 5.2. One of the key considerations of the network design with load balancer is to ensure incoming and return traffic go through the same load balancer (one exception is direct server return (DSR), which doesn't have this requirement). There are various options you can use to insert the load balancer. One way is to use the load balancer as a gateway for servers or as a routing next hop for routing instances. Another option is to use Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) on the load balancer or use ACI Policy-Based Redirect (PBR) to make the return traffic go back to the load balancer.

At the end of 2019, Heavy Reading surveyed 77 communications service providers (CSPs) on their plans for virtualization overall, and virtualized radio access networks (vRANs) specifically. A lot has happened since then that could throw the carriers off course – like data centers and central offices going zero-touch and lights-out virtually overnight. Heavy Reading checked in with the carriers in Q2 2021 to see how their plans have changed. This report highlights the results of our 2021 survey, comparing and contrasting them with the results from our 2019 survey.

This document provides design considerations for understanding, configuring, and troubleshooting Dell PowerScale scale-out NAS external networking. In a scale-out NAS environment, the overall network architecture must be configured to maximize the user experience. Many factors contribute to overall network performance. This document examines network architecture design and best practices, including factors such as latency, flow control, ICMP, MTU, jumbo frames, congestion, TCP/IP parameters, and IPv6.
