● liveAGPL-3.0Mustache5G SBP
An interoperable, eBPF-defined 5G core packaged as a Kubernetes operator. One-click deploys pair any compatible control plane (Open5GS, free5GC, SD-Core, OAI) with an eBPF-based user plane, managed through CRDs with automated lifecycle, scaling, and self-healing.
Proposed to LFN's 5G Super Blueprint as a reference architecture for eBPF-defined cores.
What it does
- Custom Resource Definitions for declarative CP and eUPF configuration.
- Automated lifecycle: scaling, rolling updates, self-healing.
- Consistent deployment across diverse Kubernetes environments.
- Abstracts complex 5G networking and core wiring.

CNDP-UPF
·
github.com/ngkore/CNDP-UPF
● liveGoDataplane
A high-throughput User Plane Function built on Intel's Cloud-Native Data Plane Kit. Wires AF_XDP fast-paths and DPDK acceleration into a 5G UPF that scales cleanly inside Kubernetes, without the operator overhead of traditional kernel-bypass deployments.
What it does
- AF_XDP and DPDK acceleration in a cloud-native package.
- Kubernetes-friendly scaling and lifecycle.
- Designed for line-rate UPF forwarding on commodity hardware.

github.com/ngkore/eUPF-free5gc
● liveUPF + Core
End-to-end integration of the eBPF/XDP-based eUPF with the free5GC core. Validated in the NgKore lab against OpenAirInterface RAN and real UE handsets, with eBPF programs handling PDR, FAR, QER, and TEID processing entirely in-kernel.
What it does
- Reference deployment of eUPF + free5GC.
- End-to-end validation with OAI RAN and commercial UE.
- In-kernel packet processing via eBPF/XDP.

● liveCO-RAN 7.2
Stable, reproducible O-RAN 7.2 split deployment pairing a Benetel commercial Radio Unit with the OpenAirInterface gNB stack. Tested configs, fronthaul timing, and the integration patches needed to bring up an end-to-end gNB on commodity hardware.
What it does
- Verified bring-up of Benetel RU against OAI gNB.
- Fronthaul timing and 7.2 split configuration baseline.
- Integration patches and tested kernel parameters.

● liveHelmKubernetes
Helm chart bundles for four open 5G cores, each pre-wired to deploy alongside eUPF as the user plane. Pick a core, point at a cluster, get a working 5G stack. The same building blocks used internally for NgKore's reference deployments.
