Keysight, F5 and AMD Collaborate to Demonstrate 5G Terabit Scale Traffic at Mobile World Congress Las Vegas
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) announced its cloud-native traffic generator, CyPerf, will showcase the performance of F5's BIG-IP Next Edge Firewall at the Mobile World Congress Las Vegas from September 28-30, 2022. This solution, utilizing 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors, has exceeded expectations by validating new configurations to meet the high demands of 5G networks. The collaboration aims to enhance the verification of system provisioning in next-gen networks, ensuring robust subscriber experiences.
- CyPerf demonstrated superior performance capabilities with F5's Edge Firewall, exceeding initial TPS predictions.
- Keysight's solutions support the validation of complex 5G infrastructure, facilitating smoother service rollouts.
- Collaboration with F5 and AMD strengthens Keysight's market positioning in the 5G space.
- None.
For years, 5G performance predictions have ranged from delivering 10X to 100X greater performance than what was possible with 4G. Many service providers are in the process of building new networks based on cloud-native microservices capable of handling 5G data traffic at scale. This requires reliable and repeatable ways to verify system provisioning and new configurations within a cloud-native, high data throughput and low latency data management environment.
F5 selected Keysight’s CyPerf as a solution to demonstrate the performance capability of F5’s Edge Firewall CNF, powered by the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors.
“We were confident that this proof-of-concept configuration would be powerful, with the automation and efficiency of running the new Edge Firewall CNF on AMD EPYC CPUs with 64 cores. However, the transactions per second (TPS) outcome was even better than initially predicted. Cloud-native test traffic from CyPerf provided a reliable, repeatable means to validate whether newly configured and provisioned systems can handle the tremendous throughput, TPS, and low latency requirements of modern 5G deployments,” said
The next wave of mobile applications has far greater bandwidth, latency and security demands on the network infrastructure, and it is crucial to validate the virtualized 5G infrastructure at cloud scale to ensure a reliable subscriber quality of experience. For the demonstrations, Keysight’s CyPerf will emulate millions of mobile users browsing their phones, cumulatively generating millions of application transactions and
“Meeting the data challenges of the 5G era is only one part of the battle. Providing scalable, performant and most importantly, secure solutions is critical to advancing the growth of 5G,” said
“We are pleased to collaborate with AMD and F5 on a powerful demonstration designed to raise the industry bar. With a proven method to generate and process cloud-based traffic, service providers can now confidently roll out 5G services at scale,” said
