1 Overview
Oracle Communication Security Edge Protection Proxy (OCSEPP) is a proxy network functions (NF) which is used for secured communication between inter-Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) messages. This document provides a brief overview of the recommended methods for installing SEPP.
Oracle SEPP is deployed by both Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) providers. MNOs deploy OCSEPP acting as 3GPP 5GC SEPP NF which enables inter PLMN communication between two networks via N32 interface.IPX providers shall deploy OCSEPP acting as IPX Proxy enabling inter PLMN communication between MNO's through N32 interface supporting Application Layer Security (ALS) as specified in TS 33.501. IPX provider is able to deploy OCSEPP in either of one mode i.e. functionality of 5GC SEPP NF or IPX proxy. IPX providers are able to host 5GC SEPP NF functionality for few of the MNO's and host IPX proxy functionality for rest of the MNOs.
