Virtualized Network Service Topology Exploration Using Nepal
Summary: Nepal, a path-centric language for temporal SDN/NFV inventories, makes paths first-class and composable with strongly typed schema. Demonstrates time-travel and troubleshooting on dynamic, multi-layer graphs to compare past and present connectivity, easing extraction from inventories. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
