Abstract

To meet the growing demand for increased data traffic and support advanced services in various applications, the introduction of 5th generation (5G) networks offers enhanced flexibility compared to previous network generations. Docker's container-based platform plays a crucial role in enabling highly portable workloads for 5G communication. This study extends the implementation of Docker for IP security purposes, with the evaluation conducted using Free5GC. The paper presents two 5G deployment options: a Docker-based implementation using Ansible and a Virtual machine-based implementation utilizing Free5GC open source and UERANSIM. The evaluation of results is performed through the utilization of Python code and Linux commands. The proposed solution empowers network operators to ensure the confidentiality of users' data, addressing the need for secure communication in the 5G ecosystem.
