Any process started within a Mininet container inherits the container’s view of network interfaces.įor efficiency, Mininet containers all share the same filesystem by default. The use of veth links ensures that the virtual links behave like Ethernet, though it may be necessary to disable TSO ( 17.5 TCP Offloading) to view Ethernet packets in WireShark as they would appear on the (virtual) wire. Mininet containers then are assigned virtual Ethernet interfaces (see the ip-link man page entries for veth), which are connected to other containers through virtual Ethernet links. While Mininet was originally developed as a testbed for software-defined networking ( 3.4 Software-Defined Networking), it works just as well for demonstrations and experiments involving traditional networking.Ī Mininet container is a process (or group of processes) that no longer has access to all the host system’s “native” network interfaces, much as a process that has executed the chroot() system call no longer has access to the full filesystem. These containers consume sufficiently few resources that networks of over a thousand nodes have been created, running on a single laptop. These nodes are sometimes called containers, or, more accurately, network namespaces. Mininet is a system that supports the creation of lightweight logical nodes that can be connected into networks. One can always use a set of interconnected virtual machines, but even pared-down virtual machines consume sufficient resources that it is hard to create a network of more than a handful of nodes. Sometimes simulations are not possible or not practical, and network experiments must be run on actual machines. 30.7.4.1 Monitoring cwnd by eavesdropping.
