[srsran-users] Multiple srsRAN instances on Ubuntu server?

[Nadia Patricia Yoza Mitsuishi]

Hi Andre,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I meant running real RF hardware. I was
wondering if using just one Ubuntu server would be a way to run multiple
eNB and UE, each one running on a virtual machine connected to a USRP. I
see, we might see packet loss then. I don't know how practical setting up
an Ubuntu server would be (we don't have it yet).

Thanks!
