Analysis of Standard Core Architecture
| Architecture Levels | Traditional Network | SDN Integrated Bearer Network | Technological Breakthrough |
| Control Plane | Distributed Control | Centralized SDN Controller | Global Topology View |
| Forwarding Plane | Dedicated Hardware | General-purpose x86 Server | NFV Virtualization |
| Management Plane | CLI Configuration | REST API Orchestration | Automated deployment |
Key technical features
1. Integrated bearing of fixed and mobile services
Through Multi-service aggregation gateway (MSG):
- Fixed network side: vBRAS architecture is adopted, and the U plane reuses the old BNG equipment
- Mobile network side: S/PGW-U is sunk to the aggregation layer
- EVPN technology realizes differentiated QoS marking
2. Network flattening transformation
Typical application: In the 5G mobile backhaul scenario, the SGi interface is used to directly connect to the Internet, reducing the two IP RAN layers and reducing the latency by 40%
Implementation suggestions
Phase-based evolution route
- Pilot phase: Select 2-3 aggregation nodes to deploy MSG-U
- Scale deployment: Cloudify the control plane and adopt SR+EVPN technology
- Full network integration: Realize the sinking of all CDN nodes
