Network Slice Instance Inventory
Active network slice instances and configuration accuracy.
- Network Slice Subnet Instance (NSSI) inventory current and accurate?
- eMBB slices (enhanced Mobile Broadband) provisioned and active?
- URLLC slices (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency) provisioned and active?
- mMTC slices (massive Machine Type Communications) provisioned?
- Total active Network Slice Instances (NSI)
Slice SLA Enforcement
SLA parameter definition and real-time monitoring.
- SLA parameters (throughput, latency, packet loss, reliability) defined per slice?
- Per-slice SLA monitoring dashboards operational?
- Automated SLA breach alerts configured and tested?
- Slice resource isolation verified (no cross-slice interference)?
QoS and 5QI Configuration
5G QoS Identifier values and traffic prioritization.
- 5QI values assigned per 3GPP TS 23.501 Table 5.7.4-1?
- DSCP markings consistent end-to-end through transport network?
- PCF (Policy Control Function) applying QoS policies correctly?
- GFBR and MFBR rates enforced per slice SLA?
Core Network Function Health
5GC network function operational status verification.
- AMF (Access Management Function) - all instances healthy?
- SMF (Session Management Function) - all instances healthy?
- UPF (User Plane Function) - forwarding traffic correctly?
- NSSF (Network Slice Selection Function) - routing slices correctly?
