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). -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.

The simple one is to use Vagrant to create a VirtualBox-based VM on your machine that contains the pre-installed and configured emulator. The more complicated installation requires a freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and is done by an ansible playbook. The third option is to use a nested Docker environment to run the emulator inside a Docker container. - -### Option 1: Vagrant 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. -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. +There are three ways to install and use the emulation platform.
