Mininet Performance Fidelity Benchmarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This initial Mininet technical report evaluates the performance fidelity of the Mininet/Mininet-HiFi system by examining results from two classes of experiments: link tests (section 2) and microbenchmarks (section 3.) This is a work in progress which will be updated as we develop more tests as well as a deeper understanding of the performance and timing characteristics of Mininet/Mininet-HiFi and Container-Based Emulation techniques.

Mininet as Software Defined Networking Testing Platform
Mininet is an emulator for deploying large networks on the limited resources of a simple single Computer or Virtual Machine. Mininet has been created for enabling research in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and OpenFlow. Mininet emulator allows running unmodified code interactively on virtual hardware on a simple PC. It provides convenience and realism at very low cost. The alternative to Min...
متن کاملA Framework for Implementing Realistic Custom Network Topology in Mininet
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging technology which enables the separation of control plane and the data plane in the networking infrastructure. Communication between the SDN controller and the network elements can be achieved using the Openflow switching protocol. Using Openflow the controller can create/modify the entries in the flow tables of switches which in turn can define t...

This paper presents a distributed version of Mininet, an Openflow network emulator. Normally, Mininet emulates an entire network of hosts and switches, each running as a seperate process within a Linux container, all on the same machine. Unfortunately, emulating networks that require more resources than a single machine are currently impossible in Mininet. By extending Mininet with cross-machin...
متن کاملMininet as a Container Based Emulator for Software Defined Networks
Mininet is network emulation software that allows launching a virtual network with switches, hosts and an SDN controller all with a single command on a single Linux kernel. It is a great way to start learning about SDN and Open-Flow as well as test SDN controller and SDN applications. Mininet can be used to deploy large networks on a single computer or virtual machine provided with limited reso...
