Mininet Examples
|
|
========================================================
|
|
|
|
These examples are intended to help you get started using
|
|
Mininet's Python API.
|
|
|
|
========================================================
|
|
|
|
### baresshd.py:
|
|
|
|
This example uses Mininet's medium-level API to create an sshd
|
|
process running in a namespace. Doesn't use OpenFlow.
|
|
|
|
### consoles.py:
|
|
|
|
This example creates a grid of console windows, one for each node,
|
|
and allows interaction with and monitoring of each console, including
|
|
graphical monitoring.
|
|
|
|
### controllers.py:
|
|
|
|
This example creates a network with multiple controllers, by
|
|
using a custom Switch() subclass.
|
|
|
|
### controllers2.py:
|
|
|
|
This example creates a network with multiple controllers by
|
|
creating an empty network, adding nodes to it, and manually
|
|
starting the switches.
|
|
|
|
### controlnet.py:
|
|
|
|
This examples shows how you can model the control network as well
|
|
as the data network, by actually creating two Mininet objects.
|
|
|
|
### cpu.py:
|
|
|
|
This example tests iperf bandwidth for varying CPU limits.
|
|
|
|
### emptynet.py:
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates creating an empty network (i.e. with no
|
|
topology object) and adding nodes to it.
|
|
|
|
### hwintf.py:
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to add an interface (for example a real
|
|
hardware interface) to a network after the network is created.
|
|
|
|
### limit.py:
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to use link and CPU limits.
|
|
|
|
### linearbandwidth.py:
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to create a custom topology programatically
|
|
by subclassing Topo, and how to run a series of tests on it.
|
|
|
|
### miniedit.py:
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates creating a network via a graphical editor.
|
|
|
|
### multiping.py:
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates one method for
|
|
monitoring output from multiple hosts, using `node.monitor()`.
|
|
|
|
### multipoll.py:
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates monitoring output files from multiple hosts.
|
|
|
|
### multitest.py:
|
|
|
|
This example creates a network and runs multiple tests on it.
|
|
|
|
### nat.py:
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to connect a Mininet network to the Internet
|
|
using NAT. It also answers the eternal question "why can't I ping
|
|
google?"
|
|
|
|
### popen.py:
|
|
|
|
This example monitors a number of hosts using `host.popen()` and
|
|
`pmonitor()`.
|
|
|
|
### popenpoll.py:
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates monitoring output from multiple hosts using
|
|
the `node.popen()` interface (which returns Popen objects) and `pmonitor()`.
|
|
|
|
### scratchnet.py, scratchnetuser.py:
|
|
|
|
These two examples demonstrate how to create a network by using the lowest-
|
|
level Mininet functions. Generally the higher-level API is easier to use,
|
|
but scratchnet shows what is going on behind the scenes.
|
|
|
|
### simpleperf.py:
|
|
|
|
A simple example of configuring network and CPU bandwidth limits.
|
|
|
|
### sshd.py:
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to run an sshd process in each host, allowing
|
|
you to log in via ssh. This requires connecting the Mininet data network
|
|
to an interface in the root namespace (generaly the control network
|
|
already lives in the root namespace, so it does not need to be explicitly
|
|
connected.)
|
|
|
|
### tree1024.py:
|
|
|
|
This example attempts to create a 1024-host network, and then runs the
|
|
CLI on it. It may run into scalability limits, depending on available
|
|
memory and sysctl configuration (see `INSTALL`.)
|
|
|
|
### treeping64.py:
|
|
|
|
This example creates a 64-host tree network, and attempts to check full
|
|
connectivity using ping, for different switch/datapath types.
