2 Deployment Environment
This section provides information about the cloud native infrastructure used for SEPP benchmarking.
The following diagram represents the deployment configurations of SEPP:
Figure 2-1 Deployment Diagram
The details about the deployment configurations are as follows:
- cnDBTier, cSEPP, pSEPP, perfgo-client, and perfgo-server are deployed in same cluster
- DNS server is running on a standalone VM in a different cluster
- cSEPP to pSEPP n32 TLS 1.3 connection is on External IP (metalLB)
- perfgo-client is sending traffic on SEPP external IP
- SEPP to perfgo-server connection is using External IP (metalLB)
- Both SEPP have 30 local PLMNs
- Network delay of 50 ms on server side
