"""
Test bandwidth (using iperf) on linear networks of varying size,
using both kernel and user datapaths.
We construct a network of N hosts and N-1 switches, connected as follows:
h1 <-> sN+1 <-> sN+2 .. sN+N-1
| | |
h2 h3 hN
Note: by default, the reference controller only supports 16
switches, so this test WILL NOT WORK unless you have recompiled
your controller to support 100 switches (or more.)
In addition to testing the bandwidth across varying numbers
of switches, this example demonstrates:
- creating a custom topology, LinearTestTopo
- using the ping() and iperf() tests from Mininet()
- testing both the kernel and user switches
