Mininet creates simple OpenFlow test networks by using process-based
virtualization and network namespaces.
Simulated hosts (as well as switches and controllers with the user datapath)
are created as processes in separate network namespaces. This allows a
complete OpenFlow network to be simulated on top of a single Linux kernel.
Simulated hosts (as well as switches and controllers with the user

allows a complete OpenFlow network to be simulated on top of a single

In order to run Mininet, you must have:
* A Linux 2.6.26 or greater kernel compiled with network namespace support
enabled. (Debian-testing should work.)

* The OpenFlow reference implementation (either the user or kernel datapath
may be used, and the tun or ofdatapath kernel modules must be loaded,

Currently mininet includes:
A simple node infrastructure (Host, Switch, Controller classes) for
creating virtual OpenFlow networks.
