Scaling Deep Network Observability for 5G: Reflections from a Real Deployment
I recently went through a detailed implementation showing how deep network observability enhances 5G mobile user experience while reducing operational complexity. What stood out was how grounded the deployment was in real traffic and production-scale constraints. Some practical observations: • Fragmented systems increase cost and operational overhead • Frequent infrastructure upgrades create instability and repair expenses • Optimised filtering significantly reduces DPI hardware requirements • Real-time KPI computation improves SLA monitoring and service assurance • Standardised data export through streaming pipelines simplifies integration One misconception addressed during the walkthrough was that deeper observability automatically means more hardware. In reality, efficient filtering and intelligent packet processing reduce hardware footprint while improving performance. My biggest takeaway is that scalable observability in 5G environments requires architectural efficiency,...
