This describes a simple configuration of C-Plane, eUPF and Data Network Gateway for Open5GS EPC. Note that this configuration is implemented with Virtualbox VMs.
The following minimum configuration was set as a condition.
- One SGW-U/UPF(PGW-U) and Data Network Gateway
- One UE and one APN
The built simulation environment is as follows.
The EPC / eBPF/XDP PGW-U / UE / RAN used are as follows.
- EPC - Open5GS v2.7.0 (2024.03.24) - https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs
- eBPF/XDP PGW-U - eUPF v0.6.1 (2024.01.25) - https://github.com/edgecomllc/eupf
- UE / RAN - srsRAN 4G (2024.02.01) - https://github.com/srsran/srsRAN_4G
Each VMs are as follows.

Network Name | Network CIDR | Note |
---|---|---|
N3 | 192.168.13.0/24 | S1-U,S5u for EPC |
N4 | 192.168.14.0/24 | Sxb for EPC |
N6 | 192.168.16.0/24 | SGi for EPC |
Subscriber Information (other information is the same) is as follows.
UE | IMSI | APN | OP/OPc |
---|---|---|---|
UE | 001010000000100 | internet | OPc |
I registered these information with the Open5GS WebUI. In addition, 3GPP TS 35.208 "4.3 Test Sets" is published by 3GPP as test data for the 3GPP authentication and key generation functions (MILENAGE).
The PDN is as follows.
PDN | APN | TUNnel interface of UE |
---|---|---|
10.45.0.0/16 | internet | tun_srsue |
The main information of eNodeB is as follows.
MCC | MNC | TAC | eNodeB ID | Cell ID | E-UTRAN Cell ID |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
001 | 01 | 1 | 0x19b | 0x01 | 0x19b01 |
Please refer to the following for building Open5GS, eUPF and srsRAN 4G ZMQ respectively.
- Open5GS v2.7.0 (2024.03.24) - https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/guide/02-building-open5gs-from-sources/
- eUPF v0.6.1 (2024.01.25) - https://github.com/s5uishida/install_eupf
- srsRAN 4G (2024.02.01) - https://github.com/s5uishida/build_srsran_4g_zmq_disable_rf_plugins
The following parameters can be used in the logic that selects SGW-U and UPF(PGW-U) as the connection destination by PFCP.
- APN
- TAC (Tracking Area Code)
- e_CellID
For the sake of simplicity, I used only APN this time.

Also, when trying iperf3 client on VM4 (UE), first change the default GW interface to tun_srsue
. Below is an example of my VirtualBox VM (VM4).
# ip link set dev enp0s3 down
# ip route add default dev tun_srsue
Next, to avoid IP fragmentation, change the MTU of tun_srsue
interface of srsRAN_4G UE as follows.
# ip link set tun_srsue mtu 1450
Then, bind the assigned IP address 10.45.0.2
and run iperf3 client. The following is an example of connecting to iperf3 server running on VM-DN 192.168.16.152
.
# iperf3 -B 10.45.0.2 -c 192.168.16.152
You could now connect to the PDN and send any packets on the network using eUPF.
Now you could work Open5GS EPC with eUPF. I would like to thank the excellent developers and all the contributors of Open5GS, eUPF and srsRAN 4G.
- [2024.03.24] Updated to eUPF v0.6.1.
- [2023.12.05] The eUPF version confirmed to work in the changelog on 2023.12.04 has been tagged as
v0.6.0
