#!/usr/bin/python """ controlnet.py: Mininet with a custom control network We create two Mininet() networks, a control network and a data network, running four DataControllers on the control network to control the data network. Since we're using UserSwitch on the data network, it should correctly fail over to a backup controller. We also hack/subclass the CLI slightly so it can talk to both the control and data networks.
