This project contains several Mininet topologies:

.
├── nets
|   ├── 8routers-isis-ipv6
|   └── 8r-1c-in-band-isis
├── nets-in-progress
|   └── 8r-1c-srv6-pm
├── nets-unmantained
|   ├── 3routers
|   ├── 8routers
|   └── 8r-1c-out-band-isis
└── README.md

In the nets folder there are different projects:

- 3routers
small IPv4 topology with OSPF / FRR

- 8routers
reference IPv6 topology with OSPFv3 / FRR

- 8routers-isis-ipv6
reference IPv6 topology with IS-IS / FRR

- 8r-1c-out-band-isis
reference IPv6 topology with IS-IS / FRR and out-of-band controller

- 8r-1c-in-band-isis
reference IPv6 topology with IS-IS / FRR and in-band controller

- 8r-1c-srv6-pm
reference IPv6 topology with IS-IS / FRR and out-of-band controller, used for SRv6 Performance Measurement experiments

This project depends on:

• Mininet
• FRRouting suite
• Other Python packages listed in requirements.txt

Check if Mininet is installed by running:

$ /usr/bin/mn --version

If Mininet is not installed, run the install command (for Ubuntu/Debian):

$ sudo apt-get install mininet

You need to have FRR installed in order to run the mininet labs. Check if FRR is installed by running:

  
  /usr/lib/frr/zebra -v

If FRR is not installed, follow these instructions (for Ubuntu/Debian):

1. wget https://deb.frrouting.org/frr/keys.asc

2. sudo apt-key add keys.asc

3. rm keys.asc

4. run lsb_release -s -c

5. Edit the sources.list file in the /etc/apt folder, adding the following line at the end:

deb https://deb.frrouting.org/frr <release> frr-stable	

replacing with the output of lsb_release -s -c

6. sudo apt update

7. sudo apt -y install frr frr-pythontools

The Python packages required to run the Mininet labs are listed in requirements.txt. You can install them with the following command:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

In order to start a Mininet topology cd to the topology folder and run the Python script.

For instance,

$ cd nets/8routers-isis-ipv6/
$ python isis8d.py

For more information, check the documentation contained in the topology folders.
