Visualizing software defined network topologies using POX and Gephi

June 1, 2015 - Open Source Networking

When a researcher uses the Mininet network simulator to create a network of hosts and switches connected to an SDN controller, he or she may wish to be able to see what the simulated network topology looks like. The POX SDN controller includes a component that will send network topology data to the Gephi data […]

Install Gephi on the Mininet VM

May 7, 2015 - Open Source Networking

This post describes how to install the Gephi graph visualization utility on the Mininet 2.2 virtual machine. I want to investigate the node and link discovery function of OpenFlow and, to do that, I plan to experiment with some components of the POX SDN controller that interface with the Gephi graph visualization utility. Previously, I
