Performance RIC benchmarking is a feature that aims to provide the performance metrics based on both the RAN (Radio Access Network) and Near-RT RIC platform. It involves the communication of E2-simulator from RAN side to Near-RT RIC platform infrastructure that uses the xApp onboarded on RIC platform. The xApp that interacts messages with E2simulator through the Near RT RIC platform pods and records the time that provides metrics on latency and throughput on the xApp to RIC platform interaction. Hence, xApp regarded as Bouncer xApp.
