Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for cloud native data streaming for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic simulation may be provided and may include, receiving, by a tunneling interface of a distributed unit (DU) of a telecommunications network, a packet originating from a traffic generator of the DU; generating, by the tunneling interface, a destination-based route towards an application server of the telecommunications network based on receiving the packet from the traffic generator; and forwarding, by the tunneling interface, the packet including the destination-based route to a simulation application in the DU, wherein the simulation application is configured to send the packet towards the application server based on the destination-based route upon receiving the packet.
