Distrinet

Apr 27, 2018

Distrinet is a distributed network emulator that provides a way to distribute Mininet over multiple hosts. It can deploy experiments on Linux clusters (e.g., Grid’5000), as well as on the Amazon EC2 cloud platform. Distrinet uses the same API as Mininet, meaning that it is fully compatible with Mininet programs.

Distrinet provides an infrastructure provisioning mechanism that automatically installs and configures LXD and SSH on each machine to be used during the experiment by means of Ansible. Distrinet can be used in a large variety of experimental infrastructures (e.g., a single computer, a pool of Linux machines, the Grid’5000 testbed, the Amazon EC2 cloud platform).
