Abstract:
   Current efforts in the scope of Network Function Virtualisation(NFV)
   propose YAML-based descriptors for Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).
   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 accomodate 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.
