Test includes the Non-RT RIC components: Policy Management Service (aka Policy Agent), A1-Controller and A1 simulators
Tested on one Cloud VM - all components and simulators running on the same machine using docker - with the following spec: 4CPU, 16GB RAM and Ubuntu 18.04
(Note: this is a benchmark report running on google cloud instance)
Each test is using 20 A1-Simulator. 7 processes are running in parallel to create/delete a total of 10000 policies (500 in each of the 20 A1-Simulator)
"REST" in the table below indicate the NB REST interface of the Policy Management Service.
"HTTP" and "HTTPS" indicate which protocol has been used between the components.
