Release Notes: Juniper BNG CUPS 23.1R1

Introduction

Juniper BNG CUPS separates the Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) stack running in the native Junos OS into a cloud native application, where the BNG control plane functionality runs on the cloud application and the BNG user plane functionality runs in Junos OS. The cloud environment enables a single control plane to connect with multiple user planes.

In Juniper BNG CUPS, the BNG functions are split into the BNG CUPS Controller (control plane) functions and the BNG User Plane (user plane) functions. The management, state and control packet interfaces operate between the BNG CUPS Controller and the BNG User Planes.
