Mesh connectivity between SMFs and UPFs in 5G Network

Mesh connectivity in 5G network enables all UPFs in the region to connected to all SMFs in the region. Each SMF can connect to 1024 UPFs, and each UPF can connect to 4 SMFs.

So that if one or more UPF or SMF instances fail, the mesh connectivity allows the remaining instances to continue operating without disruption.

In addition, mesh connectivity enables dynamic load balancing between the UPF and SMF instances, allowing the network to distribute the workload efficiently. This helps in optimizing resource utilization and ensuring the overall performance of the network.
