How to build

1. Download Mininet

    root@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get update
    root@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install mininet
   

2. Create topology class /topo/mytopo.py with /ovsrules/topo.json, please refer to http://mininet.org/walkthrough/

3. Setup topology with Mininet-OF1.3

    root@localhost:~$ sudo mn --topo ./topo/mytopo --mac --controller remote --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13
   

4. Configure switch with OVS-OF1.3

    root@localhost:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl set bridge s1 protocols=OpenFlow13
   

5. Install switch entries

    root@localhost:~$ sudo python ./ovsrules/install_rules.py
   

6. Setup path reconstructor

    root@localhost:~$ mininet> h1 ./host/pathreconstruction/pcap.py &
   

7. Generate traffic

    root@localhost:~$ mininet> h2 python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80 &
    root@localhost:~$ mininet> h2 wget -O h1
   

8. Enjoy!
