AMNESiA: Affinity measurement platform for NFV-enabled networks

AMNESiA is an affinity measurement platform for NFV-enabled networks, designed to consolidate and interpret existing monitoring data into an affinity metric, aiding operators to identify affinity and anti-affinity relations in the network. AMNESiA uses the latest snapshot of usage data, collected through a generic monitoring solution, from the database to measure affinity between VNFs.
