-## Introduction\r
-__Routing Manager__ is a basic platform serive of RIC. It is responsible for distributing routing policies among the other platform components and xApps.\r
-\r
-The implemented logic periodically queries the xApp Manager component for xApps' list. Stores the data then processes it to create routing policies and distributes them to all xApps.\r
-The architecture consists of the following five well defined functions:\r
-* NorthBound Interface (__NBI__): Maintains the communication channels towards RIC manager components \r
-* Routing Policy Engine (__RPE__): Provides the logic to calculate routing policies\r
-* Shared Data Layer (__SDL__): Provides access to different kind persistent data stores\r
-* SouthBound Interface (__SBI__): Maintains the communication channels towards RIC tenants and control components\r
-* Controll Logic (__RTMGR__): Controls the operatin of above functions\r
-\r
-Current implementation provides support for the followings:\r
-* NBI:\r
- * __httpGet__: simple HTTP GET interface. Expects an URL where it gets the xApps' list in JSON format\r
- * (WIP) __httRESTful__: provides REST API endpoints towards RIC manager components \r
-* RPE:\r
- * __rmr__: creates routing policies formatted for RIC RMR\r
-* SDL:\r
- * __file__: stores xApp data in container's local filesystem (or in a mountpoint)\r
- * (backlog) __sdl__: Shared Data Library to Redis database\r
-* SBI:\r
- * __nngpub__: distributes RPE created policies via NNG Pub channel\r
- * (WIP) __nngpipe__: distributes RPE created policies via NNG Pipeline channel\r

-## Release notes\r
-Check the separated `RELNOTES` file.\r
-\r
-## Prerequisites\r
-* Healthy kubernetes cluster\r
-* Access to the common docker registry\r
-\r
-## Project folder structure\r
-* /api: contains swagger source files\r
-* /build: contains build tools (scripts, Dockerfiles, etc.)\r
-* /manifest: contains deployment files (kubernetes manifests, helm chart)\r
-* /cmd: contains go project's main file\r
-* /pkg: contains go project's internal packages\r
-* /test: contains CI/CD testing files (scripts, mocks, manifests)\r
-\r
-## Installation guide\r
-\r
-### Compiling code\r
-Enter the project root and execute `./build.sh` script.\r
-The build script has two main phases. First is the code compilation, where it creates a temporary container for downloading all dependencies then compiles the code. In the second phase it builds the production ready container and taggs it to `rtmgr:builder`\r
-**NOTE:** The script puts a copy of the binary into the `./bin` folder for further use cases\r
-\r
-### Installing Routing Manager\r
-#### Preparing environment\r
-Re-Tag the `rtmgr` container according to the project release and push it to a registry accessible from all minions of the kubernetes cluster.\r
-Edit the container image section of `rtmgr-dep.yaml` file according to the `rtmgr` image tag\r
-\r
-#### Deploying Routing Manager \r
-Issue the `kubectl create -f {manifest.yaml}` command in the following order\r
- 1. `manifests/namespaces.yaml`: creates the `example` namespace for routing-manager resources\r
- 2. `manifests/rtmgr/rtmgr-dep.yaml`: instantiates the `rtmgr` deployment in the `example` namespace\r
- 3. `manifests/rtmgr/rtmgr-svc.yaml`: creates the `rtmgr` service in `example` namespace\r
-\r
-### Testing and Troubleshoting\r
-Routing Manager's behaviour can be tested using the mocked xApp Manager, traffic generator xApp and receiver xApp.\r
-\r
- 1. Checkout and compile both xApp receiver and xApp Tx generator of RIC admission control project\r
- 2. Copy the `adm-ctrl-xapp` binary to `./test/docker/xapp.build` folder. Enter the folder and issue `docker build .`. Tag the recently created docker image and push it to the common registry.\r
- 3. Copy the `test-tx` binary to `./test/docker/xapp-tx.build` folder. Enter the folder and issue `docker build .`. Tag the recently created docker image and push it to the common registry.\r
- 4. Enter the `./test/docker/xmgr.build` folder and issue `docker build .`. Tag the recently created docker image and push it to the common registry.\r
- 5. Modify the the docker image version in each kuberbetes manifest files under `./test/kubernetes/` folder accordingly then issue the `kubectl create -f {manifest.yaml}` on each file.\r
- 6. [Compile](#compiling-code) and [Install routing manager](#installing-routing-manager)\r
-\r
-#### Command line arguments\r
-Routing manager binary can be called with `-h` flag when it displays the available command line arguments and it's default value.\r
-\r
-Example:\r
-\r
-```bash\r
-root@a3684ff4cdb0:/# ./rtmgr -h\r
-Usage of ./rtmgr:\r
- -loglevel string\r
- INFO | WARN | ERROR | DEBUG (default "INFO")\r
- -nbi-httpget string\r
- xApp Manager URL (default "http://localhost:3000/xapps")\r
- -rpe string\r
- Policy Engine Module name (default "rmr")\r
- -sbi-nngsub string\r
- NNG Subsciption Socket URI (default "tcp://0.0.0.0:4560")\r
- -sdl-file string\r
- Local file store location (default "/db/rt.json")\r
-```\r
-\r
-For troubleshooting purpose the default logging level can be increased to `DEBUG`.\r
-\r
-## Upcoming changes\r
-[] Add RESTful NBI based on swagger api definition\r
-\r
-[] Support RMR Pipeline\r
-\r
-[] Add unit tests\r
