VIAVI TeraVM 5G Core AMF Wraparound Test

2022-08-08
●Overview
■The VIAVI TeraVM AMF wraparound feature provides a comprehensive validation test suite for the most critical component of 5G Core Network, the Access and Mobility Management Function.
■As with the 4G MME, the AMF is the nerve center of the 5G Core network where protocol interoperability and performance issues have the potential to cause network outages. Unlike 4G, the AMF will run in a network with multiple vendors, a variety of virtual environments, with CI/CD (Continuous lntegration/Continuous Development) making releases in the network more frequent than ever before. VIAVI leadership in 5G has enabled a first-to-market AMF test that is designed to emulate a multiple-vendor environment with 3GPP conformant and non-conformant messages stressing the resilience of the Core at load. AMF software updates are tested automatically by integrating our tools with CI/CD environments.
■The 5GCore Services layer introduces a new challenge for vendors and operators alike. Different vendors bring different functionality and a multitude of topologies. TeraVM emulates these service layers, exposing the REST APIs, thereby emulating the different environments customers require. This answers key questions about how the AMF operates, for example:
▲How the AMF operate at scale when working with a third-party NEF to expose network events to operations
▲How the AMF performs with the 5G-EIR that has blacklisted a portion of the subscriber population
■Individually, these tests are trivial but the intricacy of the protocols, the non-standard nature of the schema (JSON) and the vast array of combinations increases the likelihood of errors and ultimately network outages.
●Benefits
■One powerful unit equips field technicians with all the traditional fiber tests they need
■Cuts testing almost in half with fewer connections and disconnections, automatic continuity check, and an intelligent fault finder
■Minimizes training and gets reliable measurements using a single connection port that combines a fully automated process with easy-to-read results
■Optimizes workflow: Compiles test results into one complete cable view and automatically stores measurements
●Features
■First to market AMF wraparound test, compliant with Latest 3GPP standards
■Runs in lightweight VM on standard x86 hardware
■CI/CD Automation Integration
■Functional TestingPerformance, Capacity Testing
■Negative Testing via Error insertion
■Flexible Impairment Generation
■Supports Open source automation tools such as Jenkins
■NFV MANO Ready
■Lab to Field – Same test tools used in the field
