Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) is used on the Sx/N4 interface between the control plane and the user plane function. It is a major protocol introduced in the 5G Next Generation Mobile Core Network, it is also used in the 4G/LTE EPC to implement the Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS). PFCP and the related interfaces aim to formalize the connections between different types of functional elements used in the Mobile Core Networks as deployed by most operators providing 4G and 5G services to mobile subscribers. This Test Suite is used to send anomalous requests to the test target.
