Abstract:
   Current efforts in the scope of Network Function Virtualisation(NFV)
   propose YAML-based descriptors for Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)
   and for their composition in Network Services (NS) These descriptors
   are human-readable but hardly understandable by humans.  On the other
   hand, there has been an effort proposed to the IETF to define a
   human-readable (and understandable) representation for networks,
   known as NEMO.  In this draft, we propose a simple extension to NEMO
   to accommodate VNF Descriptors (VNFDs) in a similar manner as inline
   assembly is integrated in higher-level programming languages.

   This approach enables the creation of recursive VNF forwarding graphs
   in Service Descriptors, practically making them recursive.
