This repository consists of Bouncer Xapp developed in C++. Its envisioned to do simple RIC Benchmarking example Xapp. 
It is required to have following features:

1) E2 Subscription Handling
2) DB Access: SDL and RNIB
3) RMR Message handling
4) Bouncer E2SM
5) RIC Indication

Steps for installation/running Bouncer Xapp.
$ cd init
$ source ./xapp_env.sh
$cd ../src
$ make
$ ./b_xapp_main


Testing:
========

To test the bouncer xapp, E2simulator is required to be build and run.
1. Take the E2simulator code under RIC-Benchmarking/E2-interface.
2. Run/Restart the Near RT RIC Platform pods.
3. Run E2sim Pod using helm chart( build e2sim using docker file available in e2-interface/e2sim/e2sm_examples/kpm_e2sm/Dockerfile). For Multiple E2sim instances update the Dockerfile(e2-interface/e2sim/e2sm_examples/kpm_e2sm/Dockerfile) with the number of instances.
  For example: ./kpm_sim 192.168.122.66 32222 10 
  where 10 = no of instances of E2sim     
4. Deploy bouncer xapp by following the xapp onboarding steps

Login to the bouncer xapp and E2sim Pods using kubectl exec to see the benchmarking timestamp.
