LFN Super Blueprints Library

LFN Super Blueprints Library

This page is the reference index for completed LFN Super Blueprint integration projects. Each entry represents a working integration that can be consumed, evolved, and built upon. Projects range from complete end-to-end solutions to focused technology building blocks.

For questions about any project, contact the project lead listed in the table below. For general LFN Super Blueprint questions, reach out to superblueprint@linuxfoundation.org.

To see integrations that are currently in development, visit the Demos, Use Cases & Presentations page.


How Projects Get Here

An LFN Super Blueprint integration starts as a use case concept from the partner ecosystem. It is discussed and developed in the community meetings and tracked on a use case submission page that serves as the single point of reference throughout development. Projects that gain traction -- typically with a committed project champion -- are developed to completion and added here.

5G Quality on Demand

Enables applications to request stable latency (reduced jitter) or minimum throughput for specific data flows. End users or applications can request specific network quality levels depending on activity, enabling optimal performance across diverse scenarios.

HEXAeBPF

Simplifies and automates deployment of open-source 5G core networks. Integrates control plane components from multiple vendors (SD Core, Free5GC, Open5GS, OAI) with user plane components (eUPF, eBPF-UPF, e3-UPF), delivering interoperability and efficiency via Kubernetes CRDs and lifecycle automation.

Reference Open Source Testbed

Provides a reference testbed of open source 5G and Open RAN components as a set of known-working, tested deployments. Maintains Ansible roles and playbooks to streamline deployment of reference testbeds with end-to-end working configurations of the RAN, 5G core, and related components (RIC, SMO, etc.).

SEDIMENT + KubeArmor

Demonstrates IoT device security using SEDIMENT (software root of trust and remote attestation for lightweight devices) combined with KubeArmor (runtime security enforcement for pods, containers, and nodes via eBPF and Linux security modules). Attestation results are used to control access to applications.

SEDIMENT for IoT Device Security via Remote Attestation

Demonstrates how SEDIMENT can authenticate lightweight, resource-constrained IoT devices -- in this case environmental sensors -- and control their network access using remote attestation results.

Simplified End-to-End Network Slicing

Demonstrates end-to-end network slicing of the core network and RAN using open source components. Realizes cloud native network function (CNF) deployment using EMCO, with Free5GC as the open source core and UERANSIM as the integrated gNB.

5G End-to-End Deployment of eBPF-Based UPF with Free5GC

Demonstrates an end-to-end deployment of an eBPF-based Free5GC core with a focus on eBPF in the User Plane Function (eUPF), using OAI RAN with software-defined radio. Advances User Plane packet processing in 5G core.

5G Public Cloud Edge Interface

Demonstrates end-to-end Private 5G functionality using Free5GC, showing flexibility in 5G Core deployment options. Covers 5G Core and UPF deployment orchestration to Public Cloud Edge Interface (PCEI) using EMCO, network slicing orchestration, and a multi-domain architecture for network slicing.

5G Cloud Native Network

Demonstrates the value of network slicing through a video delivery use case, including end-to-end provisioning of a network slice from the back office through the core to the edge and radio. Establishes the interfaces necessary for orchestrating slicing and sets the stage for full private mobile networking.
