Abstract
A sandbox execution environment is described. The sandbox environment simulates the execution environment of a live network device. The sandbox environment allows a user to write and test RCF (routing control function) functions without having to configure a device for testing purposes. The sandbox environment accepts global variables to initialize the context for executing the user-provided RCF functions such as path attributes and environmental variables.
