ABSTRACT = {The development of the Next-Generation Wireless Network
(NGWN) is becoming a reality. To conduct specialized processes more, rapid
network deployment has become essential. Methodologies like Network
Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networks (SDN), and
cloud computing will be crucial in addressing various challenges that 5G
networks will face, particularly adaptability, scalability, and reliability. The
motivation behind this work is to confirm the function of virtualization
and the capabilities offered by various virtualization platforms, including
hypervisors, clouds, and containers, which will serve as a guide to dealing
with the stimulating environment of 5G. This is particularly crucial when
implementing network operations at the edge of 5G networks, where limited
resources and prompt user responses are mandatory. Experimental results
prove that containers outperform hypervisor-based virtualized infrastructure
and cloud platforms’ latency and network throughput at the expense of higher
virtualized processor use. In contrast to public clouds, where a set of rules is
created to allow only the appropriate traffic, security is still a problem with
containers.},
