Architecture Goal
- >Model telecom network elements as replaceable components with explicit protocol boundaries.
- >Keep shared signalling contracts separate from component logic so the lab can grow without tight coupling.
Erlang Telecom Core Test Lab
A component-based Erlang/OTP telecom core lab designed around independently buildable network elements, beginning with an advanced STP implementation and an extensible roadmap for MSC/VLR, SMSC, and HLR/AuC components.

DockerOTP Testing2026What I did
- >Structured each network element with independent source, configuration, tests, and documentation so components can be replaced by real peers.
- >Built the signalling backbone around an STP implementation with a substantial OTP test suite.
- >Designed the repository for cross-component topologies and end-to-end telecom scenarios rather than a monolithic simulator.
- >Includes Linux container deployment guidance and real SCTP-oriented operation for M3UA/M2PA style experiments.
Case Study
Erlang / OTP Focus
- >Use OTP supervision, message passing, test isolation, and fault-oriented design to model telecom control-plane behavior.
- >Exercise the same runtime model used in production Erlang systems while keeping experimentation safe and repeatable.
