The VIAVI TestCenter Advanced Broadband Access Bundle for AION supports testing of Control Plane and User Plane Separated (CUSP) BNG architectures, which enable centralized session management, flexible address allocation, high subscriber scalability, and cost‑efficient redundancy. In this model, the Control Plane manages user databases, QoS policies, bandwidth, and priority settings, while multiple distributed User Planes handle actual traffic forwarding. The Control Plane can be virtualized and centralized, with its User Plane Management module overseeing distributed UPs for tasks like load balancing and resource coordination. This bundle validates performance, behavior, and scalability of CUSP‑BNG deployments.
