The counterpart is a huge changes in the current ETSI MEC Sandbox architecture, and a higher complexity. To support 10 simultaneous connections to the new ETSI MEC Sandbox, a very higher hardware requirements are necessary (CPUs, GPUs & memories).
In addition, two warnings shall be raised regarding performance and the objectives to achieve:
1. A network scenario containing a lot of PoAs and UEs can drastically reduce the performance of the Simu5G/4G simulators. The objective of 10 simultaneous connections on the MEC Sandbox could be achieved.
2. Regarding the huge amount of work to be done to replace the current network simulation with Simu5G/SimuLTE simulators [\[i.5\]], the objective of the Task#3 as defined in the STF 707 ToR, could be partially covered. An extension of this STF may be required (or a split with a future STF ?). A list of development steps is proposed in [clause A.4.3](#a43-phase-3-implementation). The 3 first steps are the ones to be achieve during this STF
We also propose to start the task 3 immediately after the acceptance of this feasability study.

**Note:** In addition, a phase of learning is mandatory before to start the replacement of the current network similation by Simu5G/Simu4G simulators [\[i.5\]].
