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.

(2016) -# son-emu -This is the repository of [SONATA's](http://sonata-nfv.eu) emulation platform. +## Installation -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. +There are multiple ways to install and use the emulation platform. The easiest way is the automated installation using the OSM installer. The bare-metal installation requires a freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and is done by an ansible playbook. Another option is to use a nested Docker environment to run the emulator inside a Docker container. -More details about the the emulator's architecture and concepts can be found in the following publication(s): +### Automated installation (recommended) -* Peuster, Manuel, Holger Karl, and Steven van Rossem.

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). +This command will install OSM (as LXC containers) as well as the emulator (as a Docker container) on a local machine. It is recommended to use a machine with Ubuntu 16.04. -## 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. +### Manual installation + +#### Option 1: Bare-metal installation + +```sh +sudo apt-get install ansible git aptitude +``` -### Vagrant Installation +##### Step 1. Containernet installation -* 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. +```sh +cd +git clone https://github.com/containernet/containernet.git +cd ~/containernet/ansible +sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local install.yml +``` -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. +##### Step 2. vim-emu installation -### Ansible Installation +```sh +cd +git clone https://osm.etsi.org/gerrit/osm/vim-emu.git +cd ~/vim-emu/ansible +sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local install.yml +``` -* 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` +#### Option 2: Nested Docker Deployment +This option requires a Docker installation on the host machine on which the emulator should be deployed. -#### 1.
