TestPod

Description

Testpod is developer tool to simulate 5G NFs and control NF behaviour as per test case requirement. Currently, it simulates AMF, NRF, PCF, UDM and UPF. While all other NFs run virtually on single pod, SMF runs on actual image on another pod.

The Testpod can be run locally on any environment having miniKube via helm test package file present in repository OR locally as in binary mode.

How to use TestPod

Repository
- https://github.com/omec-project/testpod5G.git
Execution
- Binary mode
  
  SMF (NF to be tested)
  
  Make SMF clone (git clone –branch onf-release3.0.5 https://github.com/omec-project/smf.git –recursive)
  
  Change SMF PFCP port to 8806 (lib/pfcp/pfcpUdp/udp.go PFCP_PORT = 8806)
  
  Compile SMF (go build)
  
  Run SMF image(./smf -smfcfg ../../config/smfcfg.yaml -uerouting ../../config/uerouting.yaml)
  
  UPF (Only PFCP layer)
  
  Make UPF clone (git clone https://github.com/badhrinathpa/upf-epc.git)
  
  git checkout “sim_fast_path” branch
  
  cd pfcpiface and do “go build”
  
  Run UPF pfcp image (./pfcpiface -config ../conf/upf.json)
  
  TestPod App
  
  Make Testpod clone (git clone https://github.com/omec-project/testpod5G.git)
  
  Compile Testpod image(go build)
  
  Run Testpod image as AMF to test SMF ( ./testpod amf )
  
  Update local DNS table as following (/etc/hosts)
  
  # Testpod specific
  
  127.0.0.1 upf
  
  127.0.0.1 smf
  
  127.0.0.1 nrf
  
  127.0.0.1 pcf
  
  127.0.0.1 amf
  
  127.0.0.1 udm
- Minikube mode
  
  Install minikube using Homebrew (brew install minikube)
  
  Make Testpod clone (git clone https://github.com/omec-project/testpod5G.git)
  
  To test SMF(precondition- UPF should be running)
  
  helm install smftest ./helm/smf/
