Platform independent client framework

A system for connecting to a 5G network, comprising:

• one or more computer processing components comprising a platform independent client framework, the platform independent client framework configured to:
• receive a connection request message;
• request a platform specific adapter from a plurality of platform specific adapters, wherein each platform specific adapter is specific to one of a plurality of host operating systems;
• adapt the connection request message using the platform specific adapter specific to a first host operating system to create an adapted connection request message;
• encapsulate the adapted connection request message in a transmission control protocol (TCP) to create a TCP message;
• encapsulate the TCP message in an encapsulating security payload (ESP) to create an ESP message;
• and
• transmit the ESP message to the 5G network using an internet protocol security (IPsec) tunnel between the 5G network and the platform independent client framework.

A non-transitory computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors, at a platform independent client framework to:

• receive a connection request message;
• request a platform specific adapter from a plurality of platform specific adapters, wherein each platform specific adapter is specific to one of a plurality of host operating systems;
• create an adapted connection request message using the platform specific adapter specific to a first host operating system;
• encapsulate the adapted connection request message to create a first encapsulated message;
• encapsulate the first encapsulated message in an encapsulating security protocol to create a second encapsulated message;
• and
• transmitting the second encapsulated message to a 5G network.
