A solution to VNFP problem in Python Here a new algorithm proposed to solve VNF placement problem is presented:Drops Optimization Algorithm (DSO) To have a comparison, some conventional previous algorithms are implemented, as well: GWO, PSO, WOA, IEGWO, and ILP To evaluate the implemented algorithms, some networks from topology-zoo.org are used. The project contains these files: optimizer: the main module which should be run DSO: the DSO algorithm GWO: the GWO algorithm PSO: the PSO algorithm WOA: the WOA algorithm IEGWO: the IEGWO algorithm networks: description of networks some modules which are required: ARP, benchmarks, dijkstra, dijkstra_serv, solution the parameters of the network capacities and VNF requirements: excel files

the output is an excel file for each network
