面向5G演进的移动网络测试

The Lab-to-Live white paper, produced in partnership with Appledore Research, explores the critical shift required for modern networks to adopt a seamless testing and deployment approach. As cloud-native networks become central to enabling scalable, resilient, and agile infrastructure, traditional testing methods can no longer keep up. Lab-to-Live is a holistic strategy that integrates lab testing, network deployment, and operational monitoring into a unified lifecycle, fostering continuous improvement and stronger collaboration across development and operations. __Key takeaways__ from this research emphasize the importance of agile testing environments and proactive monitoring for cloud-native network resilience. With networks increasingly defined by software-driven applications, ensuring reliability involves rapid fault recovery and a shift from hardware-based resilience to software-based fault tolerance. This approach leverages continuous testing and visibility across all network components to proactively address failures, optimize resource usage, and support multi-vendor environments.

Everything about 5G networks is bigger. For 4G, a large national provider might have a network topology with ten physical data centers. Mobile core functions deployed at these locations represent the edge of the mobile network – the point at which core networks interface with radio networks via IP aggregation and backhaul networks. While expensive, for 4G, a service provider could deploy service assurance probes at each of these locations to effectively monitor all user traffic and signaling.
