Kestrel: QoS Anomaly Detection in 5G User Planes
September 09, 2025Kestrel is an ongoing research effort on detecting QoS anomalies in the 5G user plane.
Issues such as congestion, microbursts, and policy abuse can degrade user experience within seconds, yet existing telemetry methods are either too coarse or too costly. Kestrel investigates how to gain the needed visibility while keeping monitoring overhead practical.
