Abstract |
Mininet is a network emulation software that allows launching a virtual network with switches, hosts, and a software-defined networking (SDN) controller on the limited resources of a single computer or virtual machine. This software was created to enable research and learning about SDN and OpenFlow, and to test SDN controllers and applications. Mininet provides convenience and practicality at a low cost because it is a free open-source software that emulates OpenFlow devices and SDN controllers. This paper presents a comprehensive and critical review of Mininet by introducing its basic concepts and implementation. Challenges in using the Mininet emulator tool are also discussed to provide insights into future research directions. |
