5G transport network benchmarking
draft-contreras-bmwg-5g-00
Abstract
New 5G services are starting to be deployed in operational networks,
leveraging in a number of novel technologies and architectural
concepts. The purpose of this document is to overview the
implications of 5G services in transport networks and to provide
guidance on bechmarking of the infratructures supporting those
services.

1. Introduction
5G services are starting to be introduced in real operational
networks. The challenges of 5G are multiple, impacting in different
technological areas such as radio access, mobile core and transport
network. From all those technological areas, the transport network
is the focus of this document.
It is important for operators to have a good basis of benchmarking
solutions, technologies and architectures before moving them into
production. With such aim, this document intends to overview
available guidelines to assist on the benchmarking of 5G transport
networks, identifying gaps that could require further work and
details.
As result, it is expected to provide guidance on benchmarking of 5G
transport network infrastructures ready for experimentation in lab
environments or real deployment in operational networks.

3. 5G services
5G transport networks will need to accommodate different kind of
services with very distinct needs and requirements leveraging on the
same infrastructure. 5G services can be grouped in three main

categories, namely enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), ultra-Reliable
and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and massive Machine Type
Communications (mMTC). Each of them presents different inherent
