Simple Measurement of UPF Performance 9

This describes simple performance measurements of several open source UPFs by using the traffic generator TRex as the performance measurement tool and Simple PFCP Client as the PFCP simulator. This was measured on the VMs on Proxmox VE. For other measurement results, please see Performance Measurement.

Note. Performance measurement results are highly dependent on the measurement conditions. These results are only examples of results under certain measurement conditions. And this is a very simple measurement, and according to this comment, it doesn't seem to make much sense to measure between VMs. I hope it will serve as a reference for a simple configuration when measuring on real devices.

Simple Overview of UPF Performance Measurements

I will easily measure the performance of several open source UPFs by using TRex as the traffic generator and Simple PFCP Client as the PFCP simulator. Note that this configuration is implemented with Proxmox VE VMs.

The following minimum configuration was set as a condition.

  • One PFCP client, TRex and DUT (UPF)

The built simulation environment is as follows.

Simple PFCP Client, TRex used are as follows.

The UPFs used are as follows.

Each VMs are as follows.

Set the OS kernel parameter according to this.

a-1. Network settings of Open5GS 5GC UPF (TUN)

First, uncomment the next line in the /etc/sysctl.conf file and reflect it in the OS.

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
# sysctl -p

Next, down the interface ens18 of the VM-DUT to delete default GW.

# ip link set dev ens18 down

Then, configure the TUNnel interface.

# ip tuntap add name ogstun mode tun
# ip addr add 10.45.0.1/16 dev ogstun
# ip link set ogstun up

a-2. Network settings of Open5GS 5GC UPF (TAP)

First, uncomment the next line in the /etc/sysctl.conf file and reflect it in the OS.

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
# sysctl -p

Next, down the interface ens18 of the VM-DUT to delete default GW.

# ip link set dev ens18 down

Then, configure the TAP interface.

# ip tuntap add name ogstap mode tap
# ip addr add 10.45.0.1/16 dev ogstap
# ip link set ogstap up

b. Network settings of free5GC 5GC UPF

First, uncomment the next line in the /etc/sysctl.conf file and reflect it in the OS.

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
# sysctl -p

Next, down the interface ens18 of the VM-DUT to delete default GW.

# ip link set dev ens18 down

Build Simple PFCP Client, TRex and UPFs

Please refer to the following for building Simple PFCP Client, TRex and UPFs respectively.

Run Simple PFCP Client, TRex and UPFs

First run each UPF, then Simple PFCP Client and TRex last. Each UPF uses the same IP address, so start only the UPF you want to measure.

Run UPFs

a-1. Run Open5GS 5GC UPF (TUN)

Please use the configuration files changed for TUN interface.

# cd open5gs
# ./install/bin/open5gs-upfd

a-2. Run Open5GS 5GC UPF (TAP)

Please use the configuration files changed for TAP interface.

# cd open5gs
# ./install/bin/open5gs-upfd

b. Run free5GC 5GC UPF

# cd go-upf
# ./upf -c upfcfg.yaml

c. Run UPG-VPP

See this.

d. Run eUPF

Summary

These measurement results show that eUPF has relatively outstanding performance even on Proxmox VE VM. In general, the measurement environment, conditions and tools have a significant impact on the measurement results.

If measuring using virtual machines, it would be better to measure on VMs on a hypervisor such as Proxmox VE. Also, it is good to select VirtIO as the network interface to ensure that the network does not become a bottleneck in the measurement.

It is very simple mesurement and may not be very meaningful when measuring between virtual machines, but it may be a little helpful when comparing the relative performance of UPF. I would appreciate it if you could use this as a reference as a configuration example when measuring with real devices.

Performance of N6 interface only

I simply measured the raw communication performance between VM-TG and VM-DUT. This is a measurement of the N6 interface and therefore does not include communication over GTP-U.
