+### Mass PNF simulator
+The purpose of this simulator is to mimic the PNF for benchmark purposes.
+This variant is based on the PNF simulator and use several components.
+The modification are focusing on the following areas:
+    -add a script configuring and governing multiple instances of PNF simualtor
+    -removing parts which are not required for benchmark purposes.
+    -add functionality which creates and maintains the ROP files
+    -add functionality to query the actual ROP files and construct VES events based on them
+
+
+
+###Pre-configuration
+The ipstart should align to a /28 Ip address range start (e.g. 10.11.0.16, 10.11.0.32)
+
+Example:
+python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py  --bootstrap 2 --ipves 10.11.0.2 --ipstart 10.11.0.16
+
+###Start
+Define the amount of simulators to be launched
+python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py  --start 2
+
+
+###Stop and clean
+python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py  --stop 2
+python3 ./mass-pnf-sim.py  --clean
+
+###Cleaning and recovery after incorrect configuration
+docker stop $(docker ps -aq); docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
