In this paper, we therefore introduce our open source Virtual Network Function (VNF) for an OpenAirInterface-based Evolved Packet Core (EPC) for deployment with the Open Source Management and Orchestration (Open Source MANO, OSM) framework. By using our VNF as basis, it will be easily possible to create own testbeds and extend them with further functionality, particularly {\textendash} but not limited to {\textendash} Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) setups. In a simple proof of concept, we demonstrate a basic transport protocol performance evaluation in a deployed test network.}, year = {2020}, journal = {Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Recent Advances for Multi-Clouds and Mobile Edge Computing~(M2EC) in conjunction with the 34th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications~(AINA)}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Caserta, Campania/Italy}, }
