1 Overview

Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) is a key component of the 5G Service Based Architecture. It is a proxy Network Function (NF) which is used for the secured communication for inter Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) messages.

For more information about the SEPP architecture, see Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core, Security Edge Protection Proxy User Guide.

The user can install either SEPP or Roaming Hub/Hosted SEPP.

Note:

The performance and capacity of the SEPP system may vary based on the call model, Feature/Interface configuration, and underlying CNE and hardware environment.

1.1 Purpose and Scope

This document is designed to help operators measure the capacity and performance of SEPP, SEPP microservices, and deployment environment setup software such as Cloud Native Environment (CNE) and cnDBTier.

This document provides SEPP performance and capacity data. It is recommended that SEPP is run through a benchmark on the target cloud native infrastructure to determine the capacity and performance in the target infrastructure. This information can be used to adjust the initial deployment resources and to help predict resource requirements when SEPP is scaled up.
