    Mininet: A simple networking testbed for OpenFlow/SDN!
author: Bob Lantz (rlantz@cs.stanford.edu)
author: Brandon Heller (brandonh@stanford.edu)
Mininet creates scalable OpenFlow test networks by using
process-based virtualization and network namespaces.
Simulated hosts are created as processes in separate network
namespaces. This allows a complete OpenFlow network to be simulated on
top of a single Linux kernel.
Each host has:
A virtual console (pipes to a shell)
A virtual interfaces (half of a veth pair)
A parent shell (and possibly some child processes) in a namespace
Hosts have a network interface which is configured via ifconfig/ip
This version supports both the kernel and user space datapaths
from the OpenFlow reference implementation (openflowswitch.org)
as well as OpenVSwitch (openvswitch.org.)
In kernel datapath mode, the controller and switches are simply
processes in the root namespace.
Kernel OpenFlow datapaths are instantiated using dpctl(8), and are
attached to the one side of a veth pair; the other side resides in the
host namespace. In this mode, switch processes can simply connect to the
controller via the loopback interface.
In user datapath mode, the controller and switches can be full-service
nodes that live in their own network namespaces and have management
interfaces and IP addresses on a control network (e.g. 192.168.123.1,
currently routed although it could be bridged.)
In addition to a management interface, user mode switches also have
several switch interfaces, halves of veth pairs whose other halves
reside in the host nodes that the switches are connected to.
Consistent, straightforward naming is important in order to easily
identify hosts, switches and controllers, both from the CLI and
from program code. Interfaces are named to make it easy to identify
which interfaces belong to which node.
The basic naming scheme is as follows:
    Host nodes are named h1-hN
    Switch nodes are named s1-sN
    Controller nodes are named c0-cN
    Interfaces are named {nodename}-eth0 .. {nodename}-ethN
Note: If the network topology is created using mininet.topo, then
node numbers are unique among hosts and switches (e.g. we have
h1..hN and SN..SN+M) and also correspond to their default IP addresses
of 10.x.y.z/8 where x.y.z is the base-256 representation of N for
hN. This mapping allows easy determination of a node's IP
address from its name, e.g. h1 -> 10.0.0.1, h257 -> 10.0.1.1.
Note also that 10.0.0.1 can often be written as 10.1 for short, e.g.
"ping 10.1" is equivalent to "ping 10.0.0.1".
Currently we wrap the entire network in a 'mininet' object, which
constructs a simulated network based on a network topology created
using a topology object (e.g. LinearTopo) from mininet.topo or
mininet.topolib, and a Controller which the switches will connect
to. Several configuration options are provided for functions such as
automatically setting MAC addresses, populating the ARP table, or
even running a set of terminals to allow direct interaction with nodes.
After the network is created, it can be started using start(), and a
variety of useful tasks maybe performed, including basic connectivity
and bandwidth tests and running the mininet CLI.
Once the network is up and running, test code can easily get access
to host and switch objects which can then be used for arbitrary
experiments, typically involving running a series of commands on the
After all desired tests or activities have been completed, the stop()
method may be called to shut down the network.
