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! |
