son-emu
This is the repository of SONATA's emulation platform.
This emulation platform was created to support network service developers to locally prototype and test complete network service chains in realistic end-to-end multi-PoP scenarios. It allows the direct execution of real network functions, packaged as Docker containers, in emulated network topologies running locally on the network service developer's machine.
More details about the the emulator's architecture and concepts can be found in the following publication:
- Peuster, Manuel, Holger Karl, and Steven van Rossem. "MeDICINE: Rapid Prototyping of Production-Ready Network Services in Multi-PoP Environments." pre-print arXiv:1606.05995 (2016).
