The time that a message between PNF/VNF to arrive depends mostly on the transport. To allow for some delays, there is a slot_ahead time, during which the VNF is allowed to schedule and send instructions to the PNF. This can be multiple slots; the 1ms hitherto given might typically too short. Increase to 10ms, to encompass a wider range of slot_ahead times. Make the corresponding log message of when old (stale) message are removed a bit clearer with respect to times. This is the first commit in which nFAPI works. Follow-up commits improve performance.
This directory contains the NFAPI code.
It comes in two parts:
1 - open-nFAPI
This is a clone of the github repository
(https://github.com/cisco/open-nFAPI,
commit b3bc579b1697eab829d5d8a2de59c93a61b88fa4).
The patch open-nfapi.oai.patch has then been applied.
2 - oai_integration
This is code written by David Price from Cisco to integrate
open-nFAPI into OpenAirInterface.
