"""
Node objects for Mininet.
Nodes provide a simple abstraction for interacting with hosts, switches
and controllers. Local nodes are simply one or more processes on the local
machine.
Node: superclass for all (primarily local) network nodes.
Host: a virtual host. By default, a host is simply a shell; commands
may be sent using Cmd (which waits for output), or using sendCmd(),
which returns immediately, allowing subsequent monitoring using
monitor(). Examples of how to run experiments using this
functionality are provided in the examples/ directory.
Switch: superclass for switch nodes.
UserSwitch: a switch using the user-space switch from the OpenFlow
reference implementation.
KernelSwitch: a switch using the kernel switch from the OpenFlow reference
implementation.
OVSSwitch: a switch using the OpenVSwitch OpenFlow-compatible switch
implementation (openvswitch.org).
Controller: superclass for OpenFlow controllers. The default controller
is controller(8) from the reference implementation.
NOXController: a controller node using NOX (noxrepo.org).
RemoteController: a remote controller node, which may use any
arbitrary OpenFlow-compatible controller, and which is not
created or managed by mininet.
