-# son-emu
-This is the repository of [SONATA's](http://sonata-nfv.eu) 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(s):
-
-* Manuel Peuster, Holger Karl, and Steven van Rossem. ["MeDICINE: Rapid Prototyping of Production-Ready Network Services in Multi-PoP Environments."](http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.05995) pre-print arXiv:1606.05995 (2016).
-
-A short demo that showcases son-emu together with its dummy gatekeeper is available [here](https://youtu.be/BgWDp5CM0io).

+# vim-emu: A NFV multi-PoP emulation platform
+
+This emulation platform was created to support network service developers to locally prototype and test their network services in realistic end-to-end multi-PoP scenarios. It allows the execution of real network functions, packaged as Docker containers, in emulated network topologies running locally on the developer's machine. The emulation platform also offers OpenStack-like APIs for each emulated PoP so that it can integrate with MANO solutions, like OSM. The core of the emulation platform is based on [Containernet](https://containernet.github.io).
+
+The emulation platform `vim-emu` is developed as part of OSM's DevOps MDG.
