  Abstract

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a promising paradigm which facilitates network management and service provision on today’s network by decoupling network functions from the underlying dedicated hardware and offering them through Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on the commercial off-the-shelf servers. To accelerate the related research on NFV, there is a need for an inexpensive simulator that can provide the NFV environment to conduct the experiments. In this paper, we develop a lightweight NFV simulator based on Mininet, which is a well-known network emulator. It is written by Python programming language and runs on the Linux environment. This NFV simulator can create the essential environment to evaluate the VNF and Service Function Chaining.
