XnAP Xn Application Protocol L7 A 5G application layer signaling protocol used between gNBs for establishing dual connectivity, Xn interface management, data forwarding and RAN Paging.
FTP File Transfer Protocol (FTP) L6 Used for the transfer of files between clients and servers. Largely replaced with SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) L6 Protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems that allows users to communicate data on the World Wide Web.
F1AP F1 Application Protocol L5 A 5G radio network signaling protocol for the F1 interface for the F1 interface that provides interconnection of gNB-CU and gNB-DU of a gNB in an NG-RAN.
LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) L5 Open application protocol used to access and update, distributed directory information services
NGAP Next Generation Application Protocol (NGAP) L5 Provides the control plane signalling between NG-RAN node and the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)
PFCP Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) L5 A 3G protocol used on the interface between the control plane and the user plane function. It is one of the main protocols for 5G Core Networks
SCTP Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) L5 A message-oriented streaming transport protocol with reliable, in-sequence transport, congestion control, and multi-homing for resilience and reliability.
eCPRI/CPRI Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) L3/L4 Defines the fronthaul interface between Radio Equipment Control (REC) and Radio Equipment(RE). eCPRI is one of the core protocols for 5G networks.

TLS Transport Layer Security (TLS) L4 (&L7 see HTTPS) The cryptographic protocols that provide communications security for applications such as web browsing, email, messaging, and VoIP.
UDP User Datagram Protocol (UDP) L4 An alternative to TCP used primarily for low-latency and loss-tolerating communications
eCPRI/CPRI Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) L3/L4 Defines the fronthaul interface between Radio Equipment Control (REC) and Radio Equipment(RE). eCPRI is one of the core protocols for 5G networks.
ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) L3 A transport level protocol within TCP/IP which communicates information about network connectivity
MPLS Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) L3 A routing technique that directs data from one node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses
GTP GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) L2 The protocols used to carry general packet radio service within GSM, UMTS and LTE networks
GTP-u GPRS Tunneling Protocol User Plane L2 A 5G tunneling protocol that carries User Data within the GPRS core network and from the RAN to the Core. The user data is transported via packets in a variety of formats- IPv4, IPv6 or PPP
LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) L2 A link layer protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a local area network
