An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
When we last covered Arrcus in December 2022, the company focused on leveraging routing technologies to implement a global abstraction over data center and telco provider IP networks as well as edge computing.
Among its news at Mobile World Congress last month, Arrcus announced its 5G Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) infrastructure based on Segment Routing v6 (SRv6) Mobile User Plane (MUP) technology it developed in collaboration with SoftBank.
SRv6 brings network programmability and the immense IPv6 address space to 5G mobile networks. SRv6 MUP leverages this technology to integrate and streamline 5G networks, delivering high speed, low-latency networking suitable for high-bandwidth, real-time applications.
5G MEC largely replaces the older multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) wide-area network technology, providing IPv6 support without MPLS’s performance and latency limitations.
