A Graph Database for a Virtualized Network Infrastructure
Summary: Nepal: a model-driven, strongly-typed graph database for SDN/NFV networks and topology. Layered topology (VNFs to hardware), first-class graph path queries, time-travel support for past states, and a layer-over-DB architecture enabling abstraction and flexible labeling.
