Emulating networks offer more accurate and realistic results. Therefore, despite the high requirements for resources, emulations are often preferred over simulations in networking systems. Mininet is an enterprise-grade open source network emulator that is widely used in industries and academia. Mininet API and orchestration modules are written in Python, with core emulation performed by compiled C code. You may easily write Python code to emulate networks with Mininet, or to extend it with more capabilities. Mininet is capable of emulating an entire network one-to-one in your laptop. Each node in the network can be represented by a process in Mininet.
Due to its precision, Mininet is extended further for various use cases, including Mininet-WiFi (https://github.com/intrig-unicamp/mininet-wifi) to emulate wireless networks, MaxiNet (https://maxinet...
