### New features in 2.1.0

| 72 |
|
Mininet 2.0.0 is a major upgrade and provides
|
| 73 |
|
a number of enhancements and new features, including:
|
|
72 |
Mininet 2.1.0 provides a number of bug fixes as well as a
|
|
73 |
number of new features, including:
|
| 74 |
74 |
|
| 75 |
|
* "Mininet-HiFi" functionality:
|
|
75 |
* Convenient access to Mininet() as a dict
|
|
76 |
* X11 tunneling (wireshark in Mininet hosts!)
|
|
77 |
* Accurate reflection of the Mininet() object in the CLI
|
|
78 |
* Automatically detecting and adjusting resource limits
|
|
79 |
* Automatic cleanup on failure of the `mn` command
|
|
80 |
* Support for running OVS in user space mode
|
|
81 |
* Preliminary support for the Indigo Virtual Switch (IVSSwitch)
|
|
82 |
* The ability to import examples as modules
|
| 76 |
83 |
|
| 77 |
|
* Link bandwidth limits using `tc` (`TCIntf` and `TCLink` classes)
|
|
84 |
We have provided several new examples which can also be
|
|
85 |
imported to provide useful functionality, including:
|
| 78 |
86 |
|
| 79 |
|
* CPU isolation and bandwidth limits (`CPULimitedHost` class)
|
|
87 |
* A simple NAT script to attach Mininet networks to your LAN
|
|
88 |
* An example of modeling control and data networks
|
|
89 |
* An example of per-host custom directories using bind mounts
|
| 80 |
90 |
|
| 81 |
|
* Support for Open vSwitch 1.4+ (including Ubuntu OVS packages)
|
| 82 |
|
|
| 83 |
|
* Debian packaging (and `apt-get install mininet` in Ubuntu 12.10)
|
| 84 |
|
|
| 85 |
|
* First-class Interface (`Intf`) and Link (`Link`) classes for easier
|
| 86 |
|
extensibility
|
| 87 |
|
|
| 88 |
|
* An upgraded Topology (`Topo`) class which supports node and link
|
| 89 |
|
customization
|
| 90 |
|
|
| 91 |
|
* Man pages for the `mn` and `mnexec` utilities.
|
| 92 |
|
|
| 93 |
|
[Since the API (most notably the topology) has changed, existing code
|
| 94 |
|
that runs in Mininet 1.0 will need to be changed to run with Mininet
|
| 95 |
|
2.0. This is the primary reason for the major version number change.]
|
|
91 |
Note that these are experimental features which may "graduate"
|
|
92 |
into mainline Mininet in the future, so they should not be
|
|
93 |
considered a stable part of the Mininet API!
