Network Topology with Mininet

This repository is a lab for NCTU course "Introduction to Computer Networks 2018".

Abstract

In this lab, we are going to write a Python program which can generate a network topology using Mininet and use iPerf to measure the bandwidth of the topology.

Objectives

  1. Learn how to create a network topology with Mininet
  2. Learn how to measure the bandwidth in your network topology with iPerf

Overview

  1. We will give you a Python code (example.py) that includes an example network topology of Mininet
  2. We will get you a figure illustrating a new topology you should generate
  3. Copy the necessary function code from example.py and write your Python code (topology.py) to generate this topology

Tasks

NOTICE: Please follow this slides for detail.

  1. Environment Setup
  2. Example of Mininet
  3. Topology Generator
  4. Measurement
