title = "EmuFork: Scaling Network Emulation by Eliminating Redundant Initialization",
abstract = "This paper presents EmuFork, a novel emulation paradigm that eliminates redundant initialization by mimicking OS-level fork semantics. EmuFork captures the post-initialization state of a single template router and rapidly restores all subsequent instances from this shared snapshot via Copy-on-Write. By bypassing redundant computations and resolving cloning conflicts, EmuFork accelerates large-scale emulation by up to 86\% and reduces peak memory usage by up to 30\%.",
