X2AppServer

simple module

This module extends the INET's SctpServer application by adding an input gate to receive messages from the X2 Manager module. The X2AppServer module is responsible for handling messages from the X2 Manager and forwarding them to the peer's client X2App via the SCTP layer. It ensures that the messages are properly encapsulated in SCTP packets before being sent.
