Can we separate GTPC and GTPU (Control plane and user plane) on S5 / S8 interface?

Hi Guys.

Without CUPs solution deployment, can we separate GTPC and GTPU (Control plane and user plane) on S5 / S8 interface between SGW and PGW?

I believe without CUPs solution it will be same like legacy UGW.

UGW will handle both the control / user plane traffic.

No. GTP-C and GTP-U use the same IP on SGW and PGW, so its not possible to separate them
