  abstract     = {{Developing a virtualized network service does not only involve the
  implementation and configuration of the network functions it is
  composed of but also its integration and test with management
  solutions that will control the service in its production
  environment. These integration tasks require testbeds that offer the
  needed network function virtualization infrastructure~(NFVI), like OpenStack, introducing a
  lot of management and maintenance overheads. Such testbed setups
  become even more complicated when the multi
  point-of-presence~(PoP) case, with multiple infrastructure
  installations, is considered.

  In this demo, we showcase an emulation platform that executes
  containerized network services in user-defined multi-PoP
  topologies. The platform does not only allow network service developers to
  locally test their services but also to connect real-world
  management and orchestration solutions to the emulated PoPs. During our
  interactive demonstration we focus on the integration between
  the emulated infrastructure and state-of-the-art orchestration
  solutions like SONATA or OSM.}},
