Abstract: Measuring throughput and kernel context-switch elimination using AF_XDP sockets compared to traditional raw socket interfaces in private 5G edge appliances.
This peer-reviewed paper presents empirical findings gathered from production carrier testbeds and private 5G deployments associated with 5GEngine. The investigation evaluates hardware acceleration efficacy, control plane signaling latencies, and packet delivery guarantees under extreme load.
Detailed traffic generators injecting line-rate 100Gbps streams and multi-million subscriber attachment requests confirmed the superior stability of the 5GEngine architecture. Data indicates sub-millisecond tail latencies and deterministic QoS conformance under full channel saturation.
The empirical benchmarks confirm that cloud-native 5G Standalone disaggregation provides both superior scalability and rigorous operational determinism. Operators adopting the 5GEngine architectural blueprint achieve significant CAPEX/OPEX reductions while meeting stringent mission-critical SLAs.
