4G / 5G Network Element

Expertise in development and optimization of Linux based bare-metal/virtualized platform

software on various CPUs/GPUs/DPUs/Network Processors/ASICs/FPGAs for 4G/5G RAN and

Core network elements

Experience with VPP, DPDK, DOCA, SRIOV, RDMA, OVS/OVN, XDP/ eBPF for processing of data

plane traffic directly in user space (bypassing OS kernel) to facilitate e.g. highperformance

packet processing

Knowledge of SmartNIC, SoC, DPU/ FPGA/ ASIC etc. meant for CPU offload architecture which is

required e.g. user plane workload acceleration, radio acceleration for fronthaul (CPRI/eCPRI)

and L1

Expertise in designing and implementing solutions using Multi-Processes and Multi-Threads

Experience of driving root-cause analysis and optimization for packet loss, interrupt storms,

NUMA imbalance, VF attachment issues, pod networking problems, time-sync instability

affecting RAN or core workloads.
