    Abstract: A mobile network operator may deploy a distributed network stack including, deploying a first cloud native function in a first public cloud and deploying a second cloud native function in a second public cloud. A system may provide a connected virtual private cloud. A system may deploy one or more virtual routers within the connected virtual private cloud. A system may connect the first public cloud and the second public cloud to the connected virtual private cloud using the one or more virtual routers in the connected virtual private cloud to form the overlay network. A system may transmit data traffic between the first cloud native function and the second cloud native function using the overlay network.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for bridging data traffic between an underlay network and an overlay network within a wireless telecommunication network. One such method including: providing access to an overlay network that includes virtual routers, wherein the overlay network is built above the underlay network, the underlay network including physical infrastructure that delivers packets; providing a UPFv that acts as an anchor for telephony voice functions; establishing routing protocols to transmit from the UPFv to one or more of the virtual routers; configuring one or more of the virtual routers to bridge an outgoing communication from the UPFv to a public cloud provider; instructing the virtual router to send the outgoing communication through the public cloud provider to the underlay network; and instructing the virtual router to receive an incoming communication from the underlay network through the public cloud provider to the UPFv.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for enabling a telecommunication service provider to control an underlay network in cloud service provider environment. One such method includes: dictating control of the underlay network to a telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment; enabling control of a number of virtual routers to be deployed by the telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment; and managing route tables for the virtual routers deployed by the telecommunication service provider in the cloud service provider environment. In some embodiments, the Virtual Private Cloud design is configured to be similar to a design of the on-prem architecture of the telecommunication service provider.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards embodiments are directed toward systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.
