Independently of being hosted on virtual machines or containers, edge deployment for radio access networks (RAN) or mobile core networks (EPC, 5GC) components will require real time processing (RT), NUMA awareness, programmable logic with FPGA, distributed computing nodes (DCN), and networking features such SR-IOV and OVS-DPDK.Using such technologies, we will demonstrate, live, how to verify if the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) accuracy is compliant with RAN requirements, as well as real time characteristics. We will deep-dive on “why?” a real time kernel is required for PTP, and the fine tuning implied.Join Red Hat experts to learn what are the expectations from the telecommunications industry when it comes to cloud-native network functions and how the technologies are adapting to the shift in the marketplace.
