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.

Tested with the latest available images: Thu Oct 1 2020
