5G Event Streaming
SBA Gateway uses Kafka to stream HTTP requests and MATRIXX Engine HTTP responses to a Kafka broker. SBA Gateway 5G Events applications convert the received JSON to the ASN.1 binary format for export to Kafka applications.

- About MATRIXX 5G Integration
  MATRIXX 5G Integration provides an architectural overview of how to integrate your 5G core network with the MATRIXX Digital Commerce platform. This guide also provides descriptions for the Service-Based Architecture (SBA) Gateway and messaging. In addition, this document provides information about security configuration (secured and not secured).
- 5G Standards
  MATRIXX Digital Commerce includes support for Diameter (CS networks supported with CAMEL Gateway) and SBA interface standards on a single platform.
- MATRIXX SBA Gateway Overview
  MATRIXX 5G Integration provides information about integrating MATRIXX Digital Commerce with 5G network consumers using MATRIXX Service Based Architecture (SBA) Gateway and messaging services. Upgrades and version pinning are also covered.
- Installing MATRIXX SBA Gateway
  For information about installing 5G network functions in an installation with Docker and Kubernetes, see the discussion about installing Docker in MATRIXX Cloud Native Installation and Upgrade.
- Administering the SBA Gateway
  You administer the SBA Gateway by configuring its logging and monitoring features.
- Configuring SBA Gateway
  Common Service-Based Architecture (SBA) configuration, CHF configuration, overriding default configuration options, and mapping configuration are discussed below.
- 5G Event Streaming
  SBA Gateway uses Kafka to stream HTTP requests and MATRIXX Engine HTTP responses to a Kafka broker. SBA Gateway 5G Events applications convert the received JSON to the ASN.1 binary format for export to Kafka applications.
  - Kafka Producer Configuration Options and Overrides
    You can configure SBA Gateway as a Kafka producer for sending request and response information using the gateway.yaml file or environment variables.
  - Record Formats and Schemas
    Request and response records are sent in JSON format.
  - Kafka Partition Key
  - Kafka Producer Filters
    The configuration can use filters to determine whether a request and its corresponding MATRIXX Engine response are sent to the Kafka broker.
  - Kafka Producer Metrics
    Kafka producers have a default set of metrics that can be reported with Prometheus.
  - SBA Gateway 5G Events
    The CDR ASN.1 Streamer and ASN.1 sFTP Sink applications make up a stream processor that listens for events on the raw JSON events topic, converts them to ASN.1 syntax, and then publishes them to another ASN.1 Kafka topic. These applications are delivered as Docker images for installation in a Kubernetes cluster using a Helm chart.
- Creating a Mapping Configuration
  The following documentation provides information on how to create a mapping configuration. For a list of MATRIXX-supported 5G messages mappings from MDC to OpenAPI, see the discussion about MATRIXX 5G message mapping.
- SBA Gateway Security
  SBA Gateway supports HTTP BASIC authentication and TLS Mutual Authentication.
- API for 5G Integration
  The URI, mapping, and OpenAPI specification are configurable, and only the HTTP method and mapping filename are not.
- Throttling
  SBA Gateway can be throttled to protect the platform against overload conditions.

5G Event Streaming

SBA Gateway uses Kafka to stream HTTP requests and MATRIXX Engine HTTP responses to a Kafka broker. SBA Gateway 5G Events applications convert the received JSON to the ASN.1 binary format for export to Kafka applications.

Figure 1 shows the interaction of SBA Gateway with Kafka as a Kafka producer.

Figure 1. Network Interaction Data Record Streaming Architecture

All network events between 5G network functions and SBA Gateway are published to Kafka in JSON format. SBA Gateway performs no further processing. The CDR ASN.1 Streamer and ASN.1 sFTP Sink applications included in SBA Gateway 5G Events form a stream processor that listens for events on the raw JSON events topic, converts them to ASN.1 syntax, and then publishes them to another ASN.1 Kafka topic.
