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. -### Acknowledgments +--- +## Acknowledgments -This software was originally developed by the [SONATA project](http://www.sonata-nfv.eu), funded by the European Commission under grant number 671517 through the Horizon 2020 and 5G-PPP programs. +This software was originally developed by the [SONATA project](http://www.sonata-nfv.eu) and the [5GTANGO project](https://5gtango.eu/), funded by the European Commission under grant number 671517 and 761493 through the Horizon 2020 and 5G-PPP programs. -### Cite this work +## Cite this work If you use the emulation platform for your research and/or other publications, please cite the following paper to reference our work: * M.
