Mininet Projects

Mininet Projects create a realistic network environment mostly for the growing Software Defined Networking. Over recent years, it forms a virtual testbed for SDN based projects. In essence, this special network emulator is highly flexible. For the most part, it allows seamless incorporation of software, testbeds, emulator, and also hardware. 

WHAT CAN WE DEVELOP? 

   Right now, integrated networks grab huge gratitude. To be clear, SDN based other networks are the hot trend in recent times. In order to follow this fact, Mininet also implements hybrid networks. Some samples are,

• Software-Defined Sensor Network
• SD Controlled NDN for VANET
• Software-Defined Applications over IoT
• Software Cloud and Fog Platform
• VANET Driven by Software-Defined Network

EXPEDIENT ADDITIONAL MININET TOOLS

• Visual Network Description (VND)
  • Creates Mininet and Controllers Automatically
• Mininet Editor
  • Web-based Editor with Real-Time Validation
• IPMininet
  • Python Library useful in IP based Networks
• RipL-POX
  • Multipath Controller in POX for Fat Tree

   Besides, the current advances in Mininet Projects contribute to Content-Centric Networks too. For that, it uses the Mini-CCNx tool along with Mininet. That is to say, Mininet Projects not only aids in SDN but also in IP based and Content-based networks.

   As an add-on, it allows modeling of complex topologies in parallel. Above all, it offers an extensible Python API to do any kind of network creation and research. This quality makes the mininet as the most wanted tool nowadays.

How Mininet Works?

   By and large, Mininet tool enables us to Create, Interact, Customize as well as Share the Network Prototype. For that, it uses process-based virtualization and network namespaces. To tell the truth, these are the progress of recent Linux kernels. Apart from that, it consists of three key elements.

• Isolated Hosts
  • Group of the user-level process moved into the namespace
  • Provides Interfaces, Ports, and also Routing Tables
• Emulated Links
  • Configures Link Data Rate by using Linux Traffic Control
  • Enables Virtual Ethernet Interface for Emulated Hosts
• Emulated Switches
  • Default Linux Bridge that Works in the User Space 
  • Open vSwitch that Runs under Kernel Mode

Why do We say Mininet is Best? 

   To start with its features, speed is in the first place. In contrast to other network simulation tools, it is fast in Coding, Developing, and also Debugging. The other enthralling features are,

• Custom Topology Support
• Real Programs Running
• Dynamic Packet and Flow Forwarding 
• Flexible to work from Laptops to Servers
• Support in Integration like Amazon EC2

   Due to the above potentials, Mininet stands as the best tool for PhD projects in sdn based test. On the positive side, it needs only a few lines of Python code to build your topology and to complete the project. With this in mind, it uses vast classes and libraries.

FEW OF USEFUL CLASSES

• Mininet- Create and Manage Network
• start()- Start the Overall Network
• pingAll()- Test the Connectivity for All Nodes
• stop()- Stop the Network Processes

   Let the process is to create the network topology. Here, we plotted key classes for topology creation in Mininet.

CREATE YOUR TOPOLOGY BY BELOW CLASSES

• Topo- Base Class
• build()- Override in Topology
• addSwitch()- Returns Added Switch Name
• addHost()- Returns Added Switch Host
• addLink()- Adds Bidirectional Link in Topology

   In the same way, Mininet has distinct classes for all network processes like Routing, Flow Rules, and so on. We are not only at ease with these classes, but also with novel ideas as well as domains related to Mininet. Once we wrapped the entire network, then we can visualize the project by the following applets,

• GUI- Automatic Script Creation
• GUI- Mininet
• Mininet Topology Visualizer

   At this point, we only give a preview from our expert’s brain. We are ready to give the apt training on Mininet from A-to-Z. So that you will become an expert regardless of your current skills in this tool, first of all, we discuss your needs, and then we start your work. In the handed project, you will find all things you needed. 

   On the other hand, we have more and more ideas only for you. For those pupils who do not yet have a topic, we enable this service. To sum up, we like to fill gaps in your skills with our wisdom. What’s more, you need it? All you need to do is join us offline or online.
