Using the POX SDN controller

April 20, 2015 - Learning IP, Open Source Networking

In this tutorial, we demonstrate basic software-defined networking (SDN) concepts using the POX SDN controller, POX components, and the Mininet network simulator. We will show how to use the POX SDN controller to update flow tables on the SDN switches in a simulated network so every host on the network can forward packets to another […]

How to use MiniEdit, Mininet’s graphical user interface

April 2, 2015 - Network Simulation

The Mininet network simulator includes MiniEdit, a simple GUI editor for Mininet. MiniEdit is an experimental tool created to demonstrate how Mininet can be extended. To show how to use MiniEdit to create and run network simulations, we will work through a tutorial that demonstrates how to use MiniEdit to build a network, configure network
