| A1 Simulator Overview |
| ===================== |
| |
| The A1 Simulator terminates the A1 interface and provides a way to test Non-RT RIC services without the need to deploy Near |nbh| RT |nbsp| RICs. |
| |
| Apart from providing the A1 API, the simulator also provides an administrative API to manage policy types and manipulate |
| the simulator, see ":ref:`simulator-api`". |
| |
| The A1 Simulator supports running multiple simulations using different versions of the A1 Application protocol, and supports realistic stateful simulation of A1 Enrichment Information and A1 Policy behaviours. |
| |
| For information on how to run the simulator, see the *README.md* file in the repository. |
