Once more I'm so glad choosing Python to implement reseach materials. First of all, I can bind to C or execute external program if i need an extra umph of performance, but I can also enjoy the pythonic way of programming.

This is the first time that I do databases in python, so I was looking for an JPA/Hibernate-like ORM that could help implementing the persitence layer. After benchmarking I decided to go with sqlAlchemy, and the result is astonishing.

Girafe (Graphical Interface for Representing Automatic Function Embedding) is the web-based graphical tool used to perform simulation of Service Function Chain embedding over an ISP Topology to demonstrate the vCDN concept.

We will be demoing the Girafe Tool at the Temu 2016 conference. Checkout the girafe website to play with it.
