    want to look at the script before you run it, and you should make
    sure your system and home directory are backed up just in case!

+
+        util/install.sh -s <directory> ...
+
+3.1.2 Running `install.sh`
+
+   Installing a "minimal" version of Mininet with Open vSwitch should
+   be reasonably non-perturbing since it should not create directories
+   for other tools:
+
+       util/install.sh -nv
+
+   Note this will not install a controller, so you will have to either
+   install your own controller, or use a switch such OVSBridge that does
+   not require a controller:
+
+       sudo mn --switch ovsbr --test pingall
+
+   To install Mininet itself, the OpenFlow reference controller, and
    Open vSwitch, you may use:
 
-        mininet/util/install.sh -fnv
+        util/install.sh -fnv
 
    This should be reasonably quick, and the following command should
    work after the installation:
 
         sudo mn --test pingall
 
+3.1.3 Python 3 and Python 2 support
+
+   Mininet supports Python 3 and Python 2. By default, `install.sh`
+   will use whatever `python` is on your system.  To specify a
+   specific version of Pythonm, you can set the PYTHON environment
+   variable:
+
+       PYTHON=python3 util/install.sh -fnv
+
+   You can install Mininet for both Python 3 and Python 2:
+
+       PYTHON=python2 util/install.sh -fnv
+       PYTHON=python3 util/install.sh -n
+
+   Whichever version was installed last will be the default for `mn`.
+   As long as Mininet is installed for the appropriate version of
+   Python, you can run it using that versinon of Python:
+
+       python3 `which mn`
+       python2 `which mn`
+
    To install ALL of the software which we use for OpenFlow tutorials,
    including POX, the OpenFlow WireShark dissector, the `oftest`
    framework, and other potentially useful software, you may use:
 
-        mininet/util/install.sh -a
+        util/install.sh -a
 
    This takes about 4 minutes on our test system.

-### New features in 2.1.0+
+### Python 3 Support
 
-Mininet 2.1.0+ provides a number of bug fixes as well as
-several new features, including:
+- Mininet 2.3.0rc1 supports Python 3 and Python 2!
 
-* Convenient access to `Mininet()` as a dict of nodes
-* X11 tunneling (wireshark in Mininet hosts, finally!)
-* Accurate reflection of the `Mininet()` object in the CLI
-* Automatically detecting and adjusting resource limits
-* Automatic cleanup on failure of the `mn` command
-* Preliminary support for running OVS in user space mode
-* Preliminary support (`IVSSwitch()`) for the Indigo Virtual Switch
-* support for installing the OpenFlow 1.3 versions of the reference
-  user switch and NOX from CPqD
-* The ability to import modules from `mininet.examples`
+- You can install both the Python 3 and Python 2 versions of
+Mininet side by side, but the most recent installation will
+determine which Python version is used by default by `mn`.
 
-We have provided several new examples (which can easily be
-imported to provide useful functionality) including:
+- You can run `mn` directly with Python 2 or Python 3,
+  as long as the appropriate version of Mininet is installed,
+  e.g.
 
-* Modeling separate control and data networks: `mininet.examples.controlnet`
-* Connecting Mininet hosts the internet (or a LAN) using NAT: `mininet.examples.nat`
-* Creating per-host custom directories using bind mounts: `mininet.examples.bind`
+      $ sudo python2 `which mn`
 
-Note that examples contain experimental features which might
-"graduate" into mainline Mininet in the future, but they should 
-not be considered a stable part of the Mininet API!

 cpu.py: test iperf bandwidth for varying cpu limits
+
+Since we are limiting the hosts (only), we should expect the iperf
+processes to be affected, as well as any system processing which is
+billed to the hosts.
+
+We reserve >50% of cycles for system processing; we assume that
+this is enough for it not to affect results. Hosts are limited to
+40% of total cycles, which we assume is enough to make them CPU
+bound.
+
+As CPU performance increases over time, we may have to reduce the
+overall CPU allocation so that the host processing is still CPU bound.
+This is perhaps an argument for specifying performance in a more
+system-independent manner.
+
+It would also be nice to have a better handle on limiting packet
+processing cycles. It's not entirely clear to me how those are
+billed to user or system processes if we are using OVS with a kernel
+datapath. With a user datapath, they are easier to account for, but
+overall performance is usually lower.
+
+Although the iperf client uses more CPU and should be CPU bound (?),
+we measure the received data at the server since the client transmit
+rate includes buffering.

 linuxrouter.py: Example network with Linux IP router
-

 This example converts a Node into a router using IP forwarding
 already built into Linux.
 
-The topology contains a router with three IP subnets:
- - 192.168.1.0/24 (interface IP: 192.168.1.1)
- - 172.16.0.0/12 (interface IP: 172.16.0.1)
- - 10.0.0.0/8 (interface IP: 10.0.0.1)
+The example topology creates a router and three IP subnets:
 
- It also contains three hosts, one in each subnet:
- - h1 (IP: 192.168.1.100)
- - h2 (IP: 172.16.0.100)
- - h3 (IP: 10.0.0.100)
+    - 192.168.1.0/24 (r0-eth1, IP: 192.168.1.1)
+    - 172.16.0.0/12 (r0-eth2, IP: 172.16.0.1)
+    - 10.0.0.0/8 (r0-eth3, IP: 10.0.0.1)
 
- Routing entries can be added to the routing tables of the 
- hosts or router using the "ip route add" or "route add" command.
- See the man pages for more details.
+Each subnet consists of a single host connected to
+a single switch:
 
+    r0-eth1 - s1-eth1 - h1-eth0 (IP: 192.168.1.100)
+    r0-eth2 - s2-eth1 - h2-eth0 (IP: 172.16.0.100)
+    r0-eth3 - s3-eth1 - h3-eth0 (IP: 10.0.0.100)
+
+The example relies on default routing entries that are
+automatically created for each router interface, as well
+as 'defaultRoute' parameters for the host interfaces.
+
+Additional routes may be added to the router or hosts by
+executing 'ip route' or 'route' commands on the router or hosts.
