3 years ago I plan one final test of this with IC Cluster machines tomorrow, including the intermediate versions of Ubuntu which I have not had a chance to test so far:
- [x] 14.04 VirtualBox
- [x] 14.04 IC Cluster (not supported anymore, cannot test)
- [x] 16.04 IC Cluster
- [x] 18.04 IC Cluster
- [x] 20.04 VirtualBox
- [x] 20.04 IC Cluster
If one of the intermediate versions does not work, I might just deprecate all versions before 20.04, because it is the current LTS.

install_mininet.sh installs for 20.04 from git, because mininet releases are rarely made now, and because changes were needed in mininet itself in order to correctly install on 20.04. These changes were proposed by me and merged into mininet recently, allowing this work to proceed.
start.py has a critical simplification to use the default controller. This is required for Mininet on 20.04 to work at all, and does not stop 14.04 from working. (Others to be tested still.)
Also: Support local development/debugging with VirtualBox, via NAT port forwarding. (These changes work and are useful, but are not sufficient to run an entire simulation because the logging of monitors needs to know the real IP address of the first server.)
