E2 sim fork for ns-O-RAN

================================

This repository is a fork of the OSC e2sim library with updates to make it work with the ns3-o-ran-e2 ns-3 module.

This module enables the support for running multiple terminations of an O-RAN-compliant E2 interface inside the simulation process. It has been developed as part of a collaborative effort between the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things (WIoT) at Northeastern University, Mavenir, the University of Padova and Sapienza, University of Rome.
