How do I run custom topology in Mininet

Custom topologies written for Mininet emulator .In this repository you can find out different topologies written for Mininet network emulator. Each python script refers a network topology in which some hosts or controllers manages some services, such as ospfd ,bgpd etc.

Create custom topology  

    To create custom topology first we need to start the MiniEdit .After starting the miniedit, next execute the following command line to run MiniEdit.

Command line to run MiniEdit:

sudo /home/research/mininet/My_Mininet_project/miniedit.py

Start the Miniedit

Following that, We design a topology by using the tools in the MiniEdit .

We designed a topology using MiniEdit and then export our created designs into python script by selecting,

File à Export Level 2 Script

Run custom topology in Mininet

          After create a python based custom topology, To run custom topology in Mininet, execute the following command in the Ubuntu terminal

sudo mn –custom /home/research/mininet/My_Mininet_project/main.py

The result of executed command line for run custom topology,

Performance Metrics

During the network simulation execution we can calculate the performance metrics.

They are,

  • Packet delivery ratio

The ratio of number of packets delivered in total to the total number of packets sent from source node to destination node in the network.

  • End – to-end communication delay

It is the sum of the delays experienced at a sequence of intermediate nodes on the way to the destination.

  • Throughput

It is a measure of how many units of information a system can process in a given amount of time.

  • Routing overhead

The quantity of routing packets sent for maintenance and also for route discovery.
