Emulating wireless networks with Mininet-WiFi

You may emulate wireless networks and mobile networks through Mininet-WiFi, which was developed as an extension to Mininet. While Mininet enables emulation of Software-Defined Networks, Mininet-WiFi supports emulation of Software-Defined Wireless Networks. Mininet-WiFi emulates mobile terminals efficiently, while also providing a visual graphical user interface of emulated wireless networks.

Getting ready

First install Mininet-WiFi on your computer:

$ git clone https://github.com/intrig-unicamp/mininet-wifi$ cd mininet-wifi$ sudo util/install.sh -Wnfvl

How to do it...

You may emulate mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) using Mininet-WiFi, and visualize them in a graphical interface. VANET is a subset of MANET, which can be emulated by sub-classing the generic interfaces of Mininet-WiFi. In this recipe, we will adopt and extend an example from the Mininet-WiFi.
