CUPS = Control & User Plane Separation
The ability to separate the control plane and the user plane is a crucial feature of 5G that was designed from the ground up. This feature enables operators to have the control plane located in a centralized location while the user plane can be placed closer to the application it supports. With CUPS the data plane can be moved closer to Edge for lower latency requirements leading to Edge Computing.
