## System Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The TaaS Platform is a multi-layer telecom infrastructure that provides cellular connectivity as a service. It implements 3GPP standards while exposing a modern, developer-friendly API.

|
||||
## Component Details
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. API Server (Go 1.26)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Developer-facing RESTful API and business logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Technology**:
|
||||
- Language: Go 1.26 (Green Tea GC, new(expr) syntax)
|
||||
- Framework: Gin
|
||||
- Database: MongoDB (subscriber data)
|
||||
- Cache: Redis (session management)
|
||||
|
||||
**Responsibilities**:
|
||||
- eSIM creation and management
|
||||
- Authentication and authorization
|
||||
- Rate limiting and quotas
|
||||
- Webhook delivery
|
||||
- API documentation
|
||||
|
||||
**Endpoints**:
|
||||
- `POST /v1/esims` - Create eSIM
|
||||
- `GET /v1/esims/:id` - Get eSIM details
|
||||
- `GET /v1/esims/:id/usage` - Get usage stats
|
||||
- `DELETE /v1/esims/:id` - Terminate eSIM
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Carrier Connector (Go 1.26)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Integration with GSMA SM-DP+ servers for eSIM provisioning
|
||||
|
||||
**Technology**:
|
||||
- Language: Go 1.26
|
||||
- Protocol: HTTPS (ES2+ API)
|
||||
- Vendor: Thales, G+D, or Idemia
|
||||
|
||||
**Responsibilities**:
|
||||
- Profile ordering via ES2+ protocol
|
||||
- Activation code generation (LPA strings)
|
||||
- Profile status tracking
|
||||
- Vendor-specific adaptations
|
||||
|
||||
**Flow**:
|
||||
1. Receive eSIM order from API Server
|
||||
2. Call SM-DP+ vendor API with IMSI, K, OPc keys
|
||||
3. Receive activation code (LPA:1$...)
|
||||
4. Return to API Server for user display
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Charging Engine (Rust 1.94)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Real-time credit control and billing
|
||||
|
||||
**Technology**:
|
||||
- Language: Rust 1.94 (array_windows, async Tokio)
|
||||
- Framework: Axum
|
||||
- Database: Redis (in-memory credit balances)
|
||||
|
||||
**Responsibilities**:
|
||||
- Credit balance management
|
||||
- Real-time authorization checks
|
||||
- Usage deduction (atomic operations)
|
||||
- Credit top-up processing
|
||||
|
||||
**API**:
|
||||
- `POST /v1/credit/:ip/check` - Check if user has credit
|
||||
- `POST /v1/credit/:ip/deduct` - Deduct bytes used
|
||||
- `POST /v1/credit/:ip/add` - Add credit
|
||||
- `GET /v1/credit/:ip/balance` - Get balance
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance**:
|
||||
- Sub-millisecond response times
|
||||
- Atomic Redis operations (INCR, DECR)
|
||||
- Horizontal scaling via Redis Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Packet Gateway (Rust 1.94 + eBPF)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: High-performance packet processing and traffic control
|
||||
|
||||
**Technology**:
|
||||
- Language: Rust 1.94
|
||||
- Framework: Aya (pure Rust eBPF)
|
||||
- Attach Point: XDP (eXpress Data Path)
|
||||
- Protocol: GTP-U decapsulation (UDP port 2152)
|
||||
|
||||
**Responsibilities**:
|
||||
- Parse GTP-U tunneled packets
|
||||
- Extract user IP addresses
|
||||
- Count bytes per subscriber
|
||||
- Block traffic for users without credit
|
||||
- Sync stats to Redis
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture**:
|
||||
```

||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Network Interface (eth0) │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

|
||||
└─────────┬─────────┘
|
||||

|
||||
┌─────────▼─────────┐
|
||||
│ eBPF Maps │
|
||||
│ - Packet Stats │

│ Userspace Daemon │ ← Rust application
|
||||
│ (Reads maps, │
|
||||
│ syncs to Redis) │
|
||||
└───────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Packet Processing**:
|
||||
1. Packet arrives at NIC
|
||||
2. XDP hook inspects Ethernet → IP → UDP → GTP-U headers
|
||||
3. Extract inner IP packet (actual user data)
|
||||
4. Look up credit status in eBPF map
|
||||
5. If credit > 0: `XDP_PASS`, else: `XDP_DROP`
|
||||
6. Update packet statistics in eBPF map
|
||||
7. Userspace daemon reads stats, syncs to Redis
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. 5G Core Network (free5GC)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: 3GPP-compliant 5G standalone core
|
||||
|
||||
**Technology**:
|
||||
- Project: free5GC v4.2.1
|
||||
- Language: Go
|
||||
- Database: MongoDB
|
||||
- Deployment: Kubernetes or bare metal
|
||||
|
||||
**Network Functions**:
|
||||
- **AMF** (Access and Mobility Management)
|
||||
- **SMF** (Session Management)
|
||||
- **UPF** (User Plane Function)
|
||||
- **PCF** (Policy Control)
|
||||
- **UDM** (Unified Data Management)
|
||||
- **UDR** (Unified Data Repository)
|
||||
- **AUSF** (Authentication Server)
|
||||
- **NRF** (NF Repository)
|
||||
|
||||
**Integration Points**:
|
||||
- API Server writes subscriber data to MongoDB
|
||||
- UPF forwards GTP-U traffic to Packet Gateway
|
||||
- AMF handles UE authentication using stored keys (K, OPc)
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Web Dashboard (Next.js 15)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Developer portal and management interface
|
||||
|
||||
**Technology**:
|
||||
- Framework: Next.js 15 (App Router)
|
||||
- Language: TypeScript
|
||||

## Data Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### eSIM Creation Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Developer → API Server
|
||||
POST /v1/esims { data_plan: "1GB" }
|
||||
|
||||
2. API Server → IMSI Allocator
|
||||
Generate unique 15-digit IMSI
|
||||
|
||||
3. API Server → Key Generator
|
||||
Generate K (subscriber key)
|
||||
Generate OPc (operator key)
|
||||
|
||||
4. API Server → MongoDB (free5GC)
|
||||
Insert subscriber data:
|
||||
- subscriptionData.authenticationData (K, OPc)
|
||||
- subscriptionData.provisionedData (IMSI, AMBR)
|
||||
|
||||
5. API Server → Carrier Connector
|
||||
Order eSIM profile via ES2+
|
||||
|
||||
6. Carrier Connector → SM-DP+ Vendor
|
||||
HTTPS POST with IMSI, K, OPc
|
||||
|
||||
7. SM-DP+ → Carrier Connector
|
||||
Return activation code (LPA string)
|
||||
|
||||
8. API Server → Developer
|
||||
Return eSIM details + activation code
|
||||
|
||||
9. Developer → End User
|
||||
Display QR code with LPA string
|
||||
|
||||
10. End User's Device → SM-DP+
|
||||
Scan QR, download eSIM profile
|
||||
|
||||
11. Device → free5GC AMF
|
||||
Registration procedure (5G AKA)
|
||||
|
||||
12. free5GC → Packet Gateway
|
||||
Establish GTP-U tunnel for data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Real-Time Usage Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. User Device sends data
|
||||
↓
|
||||
2. free5GC UPF encapsulates in GTP-U
|
||||
↓
|
||||
3. Packet Gateway (eBPF XDP)
|
||||
- Decapsulate GTP-U
|
||||
- Extract user IP
|
||||
- Check credit status in eBPF map
|
||||
↓
|
||||
4. If credit > 0:
|
||||
- Pass packet (XDP_PASS)
|
||||
- Increment byte counter in eBPF map
|
||||
↓
|
||||
5. Userspace daemon (Rust)
|
||||
- Reads eBPF maps every 1 second
|
||||
- Writes stats to Redis
|
||||
↓
|
||||
6. Charging Engine
|
||||
- Reads usage from Redis
|
||||
- Deducts from credit balance
|
||||
- Updates credit status
|
||||
↓
|
||||
7. Packet Gateway
|
||||
- Reads new credit status from Redis
|
||||
- Updates eBPF map
|
||||
↓
|
||||
8. If credit reaches 0:
|
||||
- eBPF drops packets (XDP_DROP)
|
||||
- User's internet stops
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Scaling Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Horizontal Scaling
|
||||
|
||||
**Stateless Components** (can be replicated):
|
||||
- API Server: 3+ replicas behind load balancer
|
||||
- Carrier Connector: 2+ replicas
|
||||
- Charging Engine: 2+ replicas
|
||||
- Web Dashboard: CDN + multiple origins
|
||||
|
||||
**Stateful Components** (require special handling):
|
||||
- MongoDB: Replica set (1 primary, 2 secondaries)
|
||||
- Redis: Cluster mode or Sentinel
|
||||
- Packet Gateway: One instance per physical server (eBPF)
|
||||
- free5GC: Kubernetes deployment with dedicated UPF nodes
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
**Throughput**:
|
||||
- API Server: 10,000 requests/second
|
||||
- Charging Engine: 50,000 credit checks/second
|
||||
- Packet Gateway: 10 Gbps+ per server (eBPF)
|
||||
- free5GC UPF: 5 Gbps per instance
|
||||
|
||||
**Latency**:
|
||||
- API Server: <50ms p99
|
||||
- Charging Engine: <1ms p99 (Redis)
|
||||
- Packet Gateway: <1µs (eBPF in kernel)
|
||||
- eSIM Provisioning: <2 seconds end-to-end
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication & Authorization
|
||||
- API keys with HMAC signatures
|
||||
- JWT tokens for web dashboard
|
||||
- OAuth 2.0 for third-party integrations
|
||||
- Rate limiting per API key
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Encryption
|
||||
- TLS 1.3 for all API endpoints
|
||||
- MongoDB encryption at rest
|
||||
- Redis TLS connections
|
||||
- eBPF packet inspection (no decryption)
|
||||
|
||||
### Secrets Management
|
||||
- Kubernetes Secrets for production
|
||||
- HashiCorp Vault for sensitive keys
|
||||
