Added more hopefully useful information.
We may want to start cutting things at some point - it looks more complicated than it really is!

Many different installation options are possible; probably the minimal
|
||||||
|
semi-useful configuration would be to install Mininet itself, kernel
|
||||||
|
support if necessary, and either the reference OpenFlow switch or
|
||||||
|
Open vSwitch. This could be installed as follows, for example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
% sudo ~/mininet/util/install.sh -knvm
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Respectively, this installs kernel support, core mininet dependencies,
|
||||||
|
Open vSwitch, and the Open vSwitch kernel module. If a new kernel was
|
||||||
|
installed, then a reboot may be required.
