The purpose of this simulator is to mimic the PNF for benchmark purposes. This variant is based on the PNF simulator and use several components. The modification are focusing on the following areas: -add a script configuring and governing multiple instances of PNF simualtor -removing parts which are not required for benchmark purposes. -add functionality which creates and maintains the ROP files -add functionality to query the actual ROP files and construct VES events based on them
###Pre-configuration The ipstart should align to a /28 Ip address range start (e.g. 10.11.0.16, 10.11.0.32)
For debug purposes, you can use your own IP address as VES collector, use "ip" command to determine it.
Example: python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py --bootstrap 2 --ipves http://10.148.95.??:10000 --ipstart 10.11.0.16
###Replacing VES for test purposes nc -l 10000
###Start Define the amount of simulators to be launched python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py --start 2
###Stop and clean python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py --stop 2 python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py --clean
###Cleaning and recovery after incorrect configuration docker stop $(docker ps -aq); docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
