Presented by: Bob Lantz, ON.Lab Mininet is an emulation framework that quickly creates virtual networks of hosts, switches, and SDN controllers on your laptop for development, research, teaching, or any other use. For scalability, Mininet hosts are usually just processes in network namespaces, connected to software switches (typically Open vSwitch) via virtual Ethernet links. In this talk, I will provide a brief overview and demonstration of Mininet, describe how it uses Open vSwitch, and present some experiences so far and thoughts on how OVS might evolve to support the use case of network emulation.
