Overview of the network slicing deployment
The network-slicing deployment is prepared to work with internal gNBs (and UEs), only exposing the MongoDB database using TCP port 27017.
This example is based on s5uishida snssai upf sample.
The network-slicing deployment works with UERANSIM using the gNB and UE images from docker-ueransim and does not build the Docker images from this repository, instead it downloads the images present in the ghcr.io/borjis131 registry, those images are the ones built from this repository.
This deployment connects two UERANSIM UEs (UE1 and UE2) to a UERANSIM gNB. The UEs are configured to select two different network slices, both present on the Open5GS 5G Core configuration files.
UE1 configuration:
dnn: internet
sst: 1
sd: 000001
UE2 configuration:
dnn: internet
sst: 1
sd: 000002
When this configuration is received in the 5G Core, the AMF uses it to select the appropiate SMF.
SMF1 is configured to serve the sst: 1 and sd: 000001.
SMF1 is connected to UPF1, serving IP addresses at the DNN internet from the pool 10.45.0.0/24.
SMF2 is configured to serve the sst: 1 and sd: 000002.
SMF2 is connected to UPF2, serving IP addresses at the DNN internet from the pool 10.46.0.0/24.
Succesful operation
When testing this, after adding the UEs to the database with the appropiate values, UE1 should receive IP address 10.45.0.2 and UE2 should receive IP address 10.46.0.2.
