1. A new radio distributed unit (NRDU) data path simulation server for testing data throughput capacity in 5G communication network, wherein the NRDU data path simulation server comprises:
a memory comprising a plurality of memory blocks;
a processor coupled to the memory;
a communicator coupled to the memory and the processor;
wherein the processor comprises:
a test controller configured to receive at least one testing profile for testing the data throughput capacity of a next generation central unit (NGCU);
a distributed unit (DU) simulator configured to generate a plurality of simulated DUs and a plurality of simulated user equipments (UEs) based on the at least one testing profile, wherein each simulated DU of the plurality of simulated DUs comprises a plurality of entities based on the at least one testing profile;
a traffic generator configured to generate a plurality of threads of data traffic required for testing the data throughput capacity of the NGCU, based on the at least one testing profile;
a scheduler configured to schedule each thread of the plurality of threads to schedule access the plurality of entities of at least one simulated DU of the plurality of simulated DUs for optimizing the data throughput capacity of the NRDU data path simulation server; and
a user plane (UP) controller configured to optimize the data throughput capacity of the NRDU data path simulation server by converging a data path of the plurality of simulated UEs and a data path of the plurality of simulated DUs using a socket buffer.
