BNG CUPS separates the BNG architecture into the user plane (UP) and control plane (CP). This allows the CPs to be centralized and UPs to be distributed as requirements demand. It also allows the CP and the UP functions to scale and be innovated independently. Some of the key motivations and benefits of BNG CUPS are:
ACG Research has developed a total cost of ownership (TCO) model to compare a traditional BNG architecture with an BNG CUPS implementation as prescribed by the BBF. Peter Fetterolf's whitepaper compares the TCO of traditional BNG deployments with an BNG CUPS architecture to quantify the economic advantages/disadvantages of each approach.
