Lab: Design MEC deployment with local UPF for a campus network

Campus MEC Design Challenge

This lab tasks you with designing a MEC deployment for a university campus spanning 500,000 square meters across 15 buildings. The deployment must support three edge applications — an AR navigation service for 5,000 students, a campus security video analytics platform processing feeds from 300 cameras, and a research computing cluster for low-latency AI model inference. You must determine MEC host placement, configure LADN boundaries, design local UPF breakout rules, and calculate the end-to-end latency budget for each application. The campus has two fiber entry points and an existing SD-WAN…
