" summary

NTT R&D builds a fully offloaded distributed UPF on Bluefield-3 DPU using DOCA flow APIs and the ConnectX‑7 eSwitch, running on 200 Gbps dual‑port cards; core claims are full data‑plane offload, carrier‑grade interoperability with DoCoMo 5GC on AWS (registration and session establishment), and measurable gains: 95% tail latency reduction and 13% power reduction versus host vUPF, plus a planned F5 POC for AI local breakout using N9 and BIG‑IP Next for Kubernetes.
