20 RIC Message Router -- RMR
22 RMR is a message router library which an application can use to send messages
23 to other RMR based applications. The destination of each message is governed
24 by the message type and subscription ID, or just the message type. RMR is
25 responsible for establishing and managing each connection freeing the application
26 from any network connectivity management.
28 This repo contains the source and documentation for the core RMR library.
29 RMR python bindings are available as a submodule in the xapp-frame-py PyPI package at
30 https://pypi.org/project/ricxappframe/ and documented at https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-ric-plt-xapp-frame-py/en/latest/.
32 The directories at the root level are as follows, each contains its own readme
33 file where additional details are necessary.
36 ci This directory contains the continuous integration scripts needed
37 to build and verify RMR when changes are made and committed to the repo.
39 doc RMR documentation is written in a document language and thus is
40 source code. This directory contains the source for all generated
43 docs This is a 'canned' directory which is intended to be scraped. Direct
44 editing of documentation files in this directory is dangerous as
45 most of the files, even though checked into the repo per mandate,
46 are artifacts and will be overlaid if hand edited.
48 examples This directory contains example programmes which illustrate the use
51 ext RMR makes use of NNG (next generation Nanomsg). The ext directory is
52 the git reference allowing the NNG code to be pulled and built as
55 src This directory is the top level source directory containing the
58 test All unit and application level tests for the core library are kept
59 within this directory. Tests for bindings are managed within the
60 binding's directory under the source directory.
63 There are several "configuration" files which sit at the top level of the
64 repo that are required for some sort of CI/CD/Documentation automation. Most,
65 if not all of the CI/CD goo is in the ci directory where it's out of the way
66 and thus not confusing. However, there is some pollution that can generally
69 tox.ini -- this seems to drive the scraper which pulls from docs and
70 writes to some external documentation repo/host.
73 .readthedocs.yaml -- this seems to be some configuration for the docs
