## Local development shortcuts:

To start listening on port 10000 for test purposes:

```
nc -l -k -p 10000
```

Test the command above: 

```
echo "Hello World" | nc localhost  10000
```

Trigger the pnf simulator locally:

```
~/dev/git/integration/test/mocks/mass-pnf-sim/pnf-sim-lightweight$ curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-ONAP-RequestID: 123" -H "X-InvocationID: 456" -d @config/config.json 
http://localhost:5000/simulator/start
```
