Abstract

The major issue in SDN emulators is to make them more realistic, versatile and open. In addition, they must be able to offer real applications in your experiments, but, due to the complexity of integrating them, some emulators do not develop those the features. In order to offer a more complete solution, this paper proposes the vSDNEmul, an SDN emulator, which the nodes are based on container virtualization in Docker.
