  - "Management and orchestration~(MANO) systems are the key components of future
    large-scale NFV environments. They will manage resources of hundreds or even thousands
    of NFV infrastructure installations, so called points of presence~(PoP). Such
    scenarios need to be automatically tested during the development phase of a MANO
    system. This task becomes very challenging because large-scale NFV testbeds are
    hard to maintain, too expensive, or simply not available.\r\n\r\nIn this paper,
    we present a multi-PoP NFV infrastructure emulation platform that enables automated,
    large-scale testing of MANO stacks. We show that our platform can easily emulate
    hundreds of PoPs on a single physical machine and reduces the setup time of a
    test PoP by a factor of 232x compared to a DevStack-based test PoP installation.
    Further, we present a case study in which we test ETSI's Open Source MANO~(OSM)
    against our proposed system  to gain insights about OSM's behaviour in large-scale
    NFV deployments.@eng"
