Abstract

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. The test device includes: a main controller, a test sub-module connected to the main controller, a cache module, a test result display module, a Web configuration interface module, and a data storage module connected to the cache module and the test result display module respectively. The main controller includes: an adaptive configuration module; a Web management module; a sub-module control module; and an interface calling module. The test methods include: testing the function and performance of the virtual resource pool NFVI of the 5G core network, and testing the NFVI of the 5G core network by using the micro-service architecture and non-intrusive methods, including: virtualization interface consistency test, virtual machine VM connectivity Performance testing, IPv6-related testing, high-availability HA testing, network function service chain SFC testing, network element NF lifecycle management testing, and layer 2 and layer 3 network performance testing.

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
