High-level Roadmap for the Aether OnRamp project.

Near-term Features

Low-hanging fruit that worked at one time, and should be straightforward to add back in.

Configure with UPF throughput optimizations.
Configure with example edge app (even just NGINX) to demo local breakout.

Medium-term Features

Configuration options that OnRamp should be able to support, but need to be demonstrated (and packaged for release).

Configure with SD-RAN, integrated with 5GC.
Configure with a second (and third) base station.
Configure with other simulators (e.g., UERANSIM).
Configure with SR-IOV enabled.
Configure with Monitoring Alerts.
Configure with secure login using Keycloak.
Configure with ElasticStack (collect and display logs).
Extend gNBsim to run iperf to test the user plane.

Long-term Features

Towards the goal of an end-to-end software-defined 5G network.

Configure with multiple SD-Core Control Planes.
Configure with multiple sites under centralized control.
Expand RAN options
- srsRAN
- Rearchitected RANSIM
- 5G OAI with USRP
- nFAPI Emulator
