Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of 5G communication, and particularly relates to a testing device and a testing method for 5G core network infrastructure. The testing device comprises a main controller, and a testing submodule, a caching module, a testing result display module and a Web configuration interface module which are respectively connected with the main controller; the datastorage module is respectively connected with the caching module and the testing result display module, the main controller comprises a self-adaptive configuration module, a Web management module, a sub-module control module and an interface calling module. The testing method comprises the following steps of testing the NFVI of a 5G core network aiming at the function and the performance testing of a virtual resource pool NFVI, and by adopting a micro-service architecture and a non-intrusive mode, and carrying out a virtual interface consistency test, a virtual machine VM connectivity test, anIPv6 related test, a high-availability HA test, a network function service chain SFC test, a network element NF life cycle management test and a two-layer and three-layer network performance test.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 5G communication, and in particular relates to a test device and a test method for 5G core network infrastructure. Background technique [0002] 3GPP confirmed that the 5G system architecture adopts the original cloud design idea, and its key features include service-based architecture (Service-based Architecture, SBA), network slicing, and edge computing. Among them, the service-oriented SBA architecture splits network element functions into fine-grained network services, "seamlessly" connects with the lightweight deployment unit of the cloud-based NFV platform, and provides agile system architecture support for differentiated business scenarios. In the prior art, Network Function Virtualization (Network Function Virtualization, NFV) is a key technology for operators to realize cloud networking and 5G. [0003] ETSI's NFV standard is the mainstream architecture specification of the NFV industry at prese...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The three-layer components of NFVI can be provided by different manufacturers and combined arbitrarily. Therefore, problems such as docking failure and performance optimization will inevitably occur during the combination process of the three-layer components. Various connectivity problems also occur when the virtual resource layer provides services to the upper layer

Therefore, the difficulties that NFV infrastructure cannot overcome are: 1) Interconnection and intercommunication difficulties due to non-uniform NFVI virtual resource layer interface standards, 2) Performance bottlenecks caused by insufficient NFVI optimization
