-### Requirements
-* needs the latest [Dockernet](https://github.com/mpeuster/dockernet) to be installed on the system
- * the emulator is implemented against Dockernet's APIs
-* The emulator uses ZeroMQ based RPC to for communication between demo CLI client and cloud-like APIs
- * `pip install zerorpc`
- * (This will be replaced / extended by a REST API later)
-
-### Project structure
-* **emuvim/** all emulator code
- * **api/** Data center API endpoint implementations (zerorpc, OpenStack REST, ...)
- * **cli/** CLI client to interact with a running emulator
- * **dcemulator/** Dockernet wrapper that introduces the notion of data centers and API endpoints
- * **test/** Unit tests
- * **example_topology.py** An example topology script to show how topologies can be specified
-
-### Installation
-Automatic installation is provide through Ansible playbooks.
-* Requires: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
-* `sudo apt-get install ansible git`
-* `sudo vim /etc/ansible/hosts`
-* Add: `localhost ansible_connection=local`
-
-#### 1. Dockernet
-* `cd`
-* `git clone https://github.com/mpeuster/dockernet.git`
-* `cd ~/dockernet/ansible`
-* `sudo ansible-playbook install.yml`
-* Wait (and have a coffee) ...
-
-#### 2. Emulator
-* Fork the repository.
-* `cd`
-* `git clone https://github.com/<user>/son-emu.git`
-* `cd ~/son-emu/ansible`
-* `sudo ansible-playbook install.yml`
-
-
-### Run
-* First terminal:
- * `cd ~/son-emu/emuvim`
- * `sudo python example_topology.py`
-* Second terminal:
- * `cd ~/son-emu/emuvim/cli`
- * `./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf1`
- * `./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf2`
- * `./son-emu-cli compute list`
-* First terminal:
- * `dockernet> vnf1 ping -c 2 vnf2`
-
-### Run Unit Tests
-* `cd ~/son-emu/emuvim`
-* `sudo python test` or `sudo python test -v` for more outputs
-
-
-### TODO
-* DCemulator
- * Advanced network model
- * improve network management, multiple interfaces per container
- * API to create multiple networks (per DC?)
-* SDN Controller
- * simple API to chain running VNFs
-* Add resource constraints to datacenters
-* Check if we can use the Mininet GUI to visualize our DCs?
-* (Unit tests for zerorpc API endpoint, and any other new endpoint)
-
-
-### Features / Done
-* Define a topology (Python script)
- * Add data centers
- * Add switches and links between the,
-* Define API endpoints in topology
- * call startAPI from topology definition and start it in a own thread
- * make it possible to start different API endpoints for different DCs
-* DCemulator
- * correctly start and connect new compute resources at runtime
- * remove and disconnect compute resources at runtime
- * do IP management for new containers
- * list active compute resources
-* Cloud-like reference API with CLI for demonstrations
- * Write CLI client
- * Start compute (name, DC, image, network)
- * Stop compute
-* Create an Ansible-based automatic installation routine
-* Unit tests
