The updated architecture of the RAN-Simulator for ONAP Dublin is illustrated below.
2. Netconf server
...
- Honeycomb simulator shall be used to simulate the Netconf server. Suitable Necessary extensions will be have been made for it to communicate with the RANSim RAN-Sim Controller.
- Each netconf Netconf server will run as standalone process or in a Docker container.
- The netconf Netconf servers will be spawned by RANSim RAN-Sim Controller based on the topology specified.
- Python scripts and client will seed the initial configuration for each Node.
- Each netconf Netconf server can send a mount request to SDN-R when it is spawned.
- Maximum number of cells connected to a Netconf server is configurable (currently configured as 16).
2.2. Handle inputs from RAN-Sim controller
...
- nbrlist-change notification will be sent by Netconf server to SDN-R based on the trigger from RAN-Sim Controller (when a cell's neighbor list is updated).
- netconf-config-change notification
2.3. SDN-R -> RAN-Sim controller flow
- ran-neighbor-list update notification will be sent by netconf Netconf server to SDN-R based on the trigger from RANSim Controller.when triggered by RAN-Sim Controller, when a cell's PCI value is updated.
2.3. Handle inputs from SDN-R
- The Netconf The netconf server will be able to accept phy-cell-id update trigger from SDN-R and forward same to RANSim Controller.Maximum number of cells connected to a netconf server is configurable (currently configured as 16)RAN-Sim Controller.
