I can promise 100% that in LARGE US 5G carriers this is exactly what is happening. Virtual CU’s and DU’s, running on traditional virtualization platforms and in containers.
An entire multi-vendor containerized 5G which replaces the 4G EPC is also in testing, and close to production deployment.
The only non-virtualized devices in the RAN network would be the Radio Units (RU).
With any luck, we shall see an "experience preso" at a NOG near us, some time. This would certainly be most interesting for the community. Mark.
