Hi everyone,

I admin a couple of small-scale networks, one with ~20 users and one with ~100. They are basic, data-only LTE networks, and do not provide any voice services, 2g fallback, or interconnect at all. One has two eNBs and the other has one. We currently use the OAI EPC, but are very interested in moving over to NextEPC for reasons of stability. 

I’ve tested NextEPC in our lab (with only two phones and an SDR) and it seems to work great. I’ve looked through the code, implemented a feature or two, and it is much much  cleaner than OAI. I’ve also heard widely good reports of some other deployments.

Anything I should know, or any major issues I should be aware of before I go ahead and deploy the current master branch? I don’t mind finding/fixing a couple of bugs and will certainly commit any fixes upstream, just more asking about any already known fundamental problems, features unimplemented, or reasons I should postpone a rollout.

Thanks!
Spencer
