Architecture

The high-level architecture of the RAN simulator and its interface to ONAP is shown below.

1. Honeycomb simulator shall be used to simulate the Netconf server.
2. Each netconf server will run as standalone process or Docker container
3. The netconf servers will be spawned by RANSim Controller based on the topology specified.
4. Python scripts and client will seed the initial configuration for each Node.
5. Each netconf server can send a mount request to SDN-R when they are spawned.
6. ran-neighbor-list update notification will be sent by netconf server to SDN-R based on the trigger from RANSim Controller
7. Will be able to accept phy-cell-id update trigger from SDN-R and forward same to RANSim Controller
