🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nextepc-mmed [options]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. so simple, so clean, she ate 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so nextepc-mmed is the Mobile Management Entity (MME) for nextepc. like, that's her whole job, that's her whole personality, and she's so good at it 💖

here's the tea on what she actually does: MME terminates the S1 interfaces from the eNodeBs cells in the cellular network, and then she interfaces via S11 to the SGW as well as via S6a to the HSS. basically she's the main character holding the whole group chat together, networking-wise 🔥

• -h — Show help. lost? she's got you, bestie 🙈
• -d — Start as daemon. she runs in the background now, lowkey mysterious, we love that for her ✨
• -f <conf> — Set configuration file name. you pick the conf file, she respects your choices 💅
• -l <log_file> — Log file path to be logged to. all the receipts go here, no cap 📝
