The Mininet network simulator includes MiniEdit, a simple GUI editor for Mininet. MiniEdit is an experimental tool created to demonstrate how Mininet can be extended.
To show how to use MiniEdit to create and run network simulations, we will work through a tutorial that demonstrates how to use MiniEdit to build a network, configure network elements, save the topology, and run the simulation.
You should already be familiar with Mininet before trying to use MiniEdit. If you need some basic information about Mininet, please read my Mininet overview.
Before starting this tutorial, you should have already started the Mininet VM and connected to it via SSH with X forwarding enabled. If you need to learn how to do this, please read my post describing how to set up Mininet. If you want to use Mininet on an Amazon EC2 server, please see my post about installing Mininet on Amazon EC2.
The MiniEdit script is located in Mininet’s examples folder. To run MiniEdit, execute the command:
$ sudo ~/mininet/example/miniedit.py
Mininet needs to run with root privileges so we started MiniEdit using the sudo command.
MiniEdit has a simple user interface that Continue reading

First INTEROP – ever! I’ve been feeling like a kid in a candy store trying to figure out what sessions I want to go to. The selection is vast… and the decision making has really been rough.
I’ve gotten a majority of my schedule figured out. But still lots of hard decision making ahead. It’s hard to not be able to be in multiple places at the same time. Truth be told some of those slots are just going to end up being what is “calling” to me the most on that day.
Where will I for sure be? I will absolutely and for sure be attending the following sessions!
