WHITE PAPER

Cloudifying the Broadband Network Gateway

From dedicated appliances to an agile, horizontally scalable Telco Cloud

The BNG transformation isn’t about replacing an ASIC with an x86 processor. It’s about turning a hardware-bound function into a software workload on shared COTS infrastructure, so service, software and hardware lifecycles can evolve independently.

The question that matters: can the broadband service be preserved? This technical architecture proposal, supported by production-relevant vBNG validation, provides the evidence.

Inside:

  • Four sources of value from BNG cloudification
  • Lab results: 60,000 PPPoE sessions, multi-queue QoS, average latency within the 80 µs objective
  • A progressive migration path with legacy and cloud vBNGs coexisting

Download it to understand how to cloudify the BNG at your own pace, and how to position your infrastructure strategy before your next hardware refresh.


A technical architecture proposal from 6WIND, with Intel and Dell Technologies, supported by Radisys SDN and 3S capabilities for progressive migration, and informed by the service-provider perspective of Deutsche Telekom.
