openLEON is an open source muLti-access Edge cOmputiNg end-to-end emulator that operates from the edge data center to the mobile users. openLEON bridges the functionalities of existing emulators for data centers and mobile networks, i.e., Mininet and srsLTE, and makes it possible to evaluate and validate research ideas on all the components of an end-to-end mobile edge architecture.
The presentation of the work at ACM WiNTECH can be found on SlideShare.
For installation, please consult our wiki page. A detailed pdf version that explains step by step how to set-up openLEON with code snippets and recommendations can be found in the documentation folder of the repository. See the Downloads page for downloading a VM image containing Mininet, the EPC applications and the scripts used for routing.
We make available the scripts of the experiments performed to make easier the replication for the research community in our repository under the folders Mininet/Containernet-examples.
We kindly ask you to use this article as reference when citing the platform in your research articles:

] ** Best Paper Award **To easy the installation process, we created a VM image containing Mininet, the EPC applications and the scripts used for routing. The image is 4.6 GB and can be downloaded at https://box.networks.imdea.org/index.php/s/Uf6Nm80Un768m0b Please use «openleon» as credentials.
Once you install the VM, please note that the account on Ubuntu is «imdea» and the password «imdea» as well.
