About

Cygnus - a UE, gNodeB simulator, conformance and a performance test tool (for gNodeB and the core NFs as per release 15 of 3GPP). It is facilitated with a powerful user-centric interface helping in creation of test scripts, performing tests and helps generating a robust test analysis with results.

• Cygnus is a Test & Measurement tool for 5G packet core and 5G RAN Network.
• It simulates the UE and the GNB protocol stacks.
• Currently 3gpp Rel. 15 compliant.
• It allows for both functional and load testing.
• Support for scaling UEs and gNBs.
• Provides rich set of analytics to measure 5G packet core signaling and data performance.
• Scripting support for generation of user defined test cases.
• UE based traffic generation flows.
• Runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or Ubuntu LTS operating systems.

Features

• GNB and UE simulator.
• Functional and load testing (signaling and data).
• API based 3gpp procedure invocation.
• Web Console for management and analysis.
• Multi-Gbps traffic UL/DL traffic generator.
• Scalable deployments using pods/containers.
