       | It's the more complete 5G stack imo. All functions are
       | containerized and it's in Golang, which is way less error-prone
       | error proof than openair (in c/c++). I used it at work to build a
       | new private function that interact with the various api to build
       | fast path breakout in the user data plane.

       | There are several projects focusing of different aspects of these
