Mininet is a software emulator
for prototyping a
large network on a single machine.
Mininet can be used to quickly create a realistic virtual network running actual kernel, switch and software application code on a personal computer. Mininet allows
the user to quickly create, interact with, customize and share a software-defined
network (SDN) prototype to simulate a network topology that uses Openflow switches.
