Demo Abstract: 5g End-To-End Open Source Network With Traffic Prioritization Mechanism

In this demonstration, we make use of the recent advances in network softwarization to introduce an End-to-End software-based mobile network with traffic prioritization mechanism. We focus on the Radio Access Network (RAN), where our prioritization algorithm is implemented. The proposed traffic prioritization mechanism guarantees higher throughput and lower delay for time-sensitive and critical services such as connected cars. It is also an enabler for RAN Slicing that allows for End-to-End network slicing. Our network is deployed on commodity hardware, and we prioritize the downlink flow of a connected car over downlink video streaming traffic.
