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.

You must: -1. Clone [this repository](http://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu); -2. Work on your proposed changes, preferably through submiting [issues](https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu/issues); -3. Submit a Pull Request; -4. Follow/answer related [issues](https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu/issues) (see Feedback-Chanel, below). +## Usage -## Installation -There are two ways to install and use son-emu. The simple one is to use Vagrant to create a VirtualBox-based VM on you machine that contains the pre-installed and configured emulator. The more complicated installation requires a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or 16.04 LTS and is done by a ansible playbook. +### Example -### Vagrant Installation +This simple example shows how to start the emulator with a simple topology (terminal 1) and how to start (terminal 2) some empty VNF containers in the emulated datacenters (PoPs) by using the vim-emu CLI. -* Request VirtualBox and Vagrant to be installed on the system. -* `git clone https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu.git` -* `cd ~/son-emu` -* `vagrant up` -* `vagrant ssh` to enter the new VM in which the emulator is installed. +* First terminal (start the emulation platform): + * `sudo python examples/default_single_dc_topology.py` +* Second terminal (use `docker exec vim-emu ` for nested Docker deployment): + * `vim-emu compute start -d dc1 -n vnf1` + * `vim-emu compute start -d dc1 -n vnf2` + * `vim-emu compute list` +* First terminal: + * `containernet> vnf1 ifconfig` + * `containernet> vnf1 ping -c 2 vnf2` -Follow the MOTD in the VM to run the example topology and the dummy-gatekeeper. The dummy-gatekeeper's default port 5000 is forwarded to the host machine and can be accessed from it by using, e.g., curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/packages. +A more advanced example that includes OSM can be found in the [official vim-emu documentation in the OSM wiki](https://osm.etsi.org/wikipub/index.php/VIM_emulator). -### Ansible Installation +### Further documentation and useful links -* Requires: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or 16.04 LTS -* `sudo apt-get install ansible git` -* `sudo vim /etc/ansible/hosts` -* Add: `localhost ansible_connection=local` +* [Official vim-emu documentation in the OSM wiki](https://osm.etsi.org/wikipub/index.php/VIM_emulator) +* [Full CLI command documentation](https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu/wiki/CLI-Command-Overview) +* [Requirements for Docker containers executed by the emulator](https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu/wiki/Container-Requirements) +* [REST API](https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu/wiki/APIs) +* [Mininet](http://mininet.org) +* [Containernet](https://containernet.github.io) +* [Maxinet](https://maxinet.github.io) -#### 1.
