Network Device Emulation Method for Implementation of Network Functions

This work is devoted to creating a network device emulation method for testing self-created network protocols (particularly routing protocols). It can be run on single device without virtualization or containerizing. The method was developed using the concept of software-defined networks (SDN), as well as the Network functions virtualization (NFV) architectural framework created by ETSI. When developing the method, the means of mathematical and simulation modeling were used.
