OpenNet vs Mininet? #39

Open sballesterm opened 9 years ago

sballesterm commented 9 years ago

What's the difference between OpenNet and Mininet simulators?? I'm trying to simulate a complex LAN topology and I dont know which one I should select for it. Is OpenNet only for wireless communications?? Thanks!

Hi,

OpenNet is a combination of Mininet and ns-3 (and some small plugins) that allows you to simulate wireless SDN. If you are focusing on wired topology, both Mininet and OpenNet can do the job.

Best regards, Charles

Thanks! Also..when I'm using OpenNet for emulating wired networks, does Mininet commands like mn, etc, works the same??

Hi,

It should be exactly the same.

I'm a beginner in SDN and I'm interested in working with OpenNet, can you tell me where to find another example or topology configuration, such as a tutorial, rather than your article "OpenNet: A Simulator for Software-Defined Wireless Local Area Network"? Thank you so much!

Hi,

If you only focus on wired part, the simulation script should be the same as Mininet script.

You can find official Mininet tutorial about constructing customized topology at https://github.com/mininet/mininet/wiki/Introduction-to-Mininet#creating I believe there are more examples if you google "Mininet topology"
