![](https://github.com/ramonfontes/miscellaneous/blob/master/mininet-wifi/mininet-wifi-logo.png) ### About Mininet-WiFi Mininet-WiFi is a fork of Mininet (http://mininet.org/) which allows the using of both WiFi Stations and Access Points. Mininet-WiFi only add wifi features and you can work with it like you were working with Mininet. [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/intrig-unicamp/mininet-wifi.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/intrig-unicamp/mininet-wifi) ### Things to keep in mind when working with Mininet-WiFi * You can use any wireless network tools (e.g. iw, iwconfig, wpa_supplicant, etc) * Please consider computer network troubleshooting steps to solve issues before making questions in the mailing list (e.g. is the station associated with ap? Is the OpenFlow rule working correctly? etc) * Do you need help? Be careful with questions in the mailing list and please providing as much information you can. ### Mailing List [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mininet-wifi-discuss](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mininet-wifi-discuss) ### Use Cases Catalogue ## Installation **We highly recommend using Ubuntu version 16.04 or higher. Some new hostapd features might not work on Ubuntu 14.04.** step 1: $ sudo apt-get install git step 2: $ git clone https://github.com/intrig-unicamp/mininet-wifi step 3: $ cd mininet-wifi step 4: $ sudo util/install.sh -Wlnfv #### install.sh options: -W: wireless dependencies -n: mininet-wifi dependencies -f: OpenFlow -v: OpenvSwitch -l: wmediumd _optional_: -P: P4 dependencies -6: wpan tools #### Docker **This is recommended if you are using a different linux distribution from the ones supported by the installation script.** 1. Building the docker image: docker build -t mn-wifi:v1 . 2. Running the container: Mininet-WiFi relies on Kernel modules from the host, requires elevated privilege, and the host network interface: docker run -it --rm --privileged --env="DISPLAY" --env="QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw --net host -v /sys/:/sys -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug -v /var/run/netns:/var/run/netns mn-wifi:v1 ### Building Topologies with GUI ![](https://github.com/ramonfontes/vnd/blob/master/miniedit.png) ### Development For instructions about easier development check [this helper file](doc/dev_help.md). ## Pre-configured Virtual Machine For your convenience, we provide pre-built VM images including Mininet-WiFi and other useful software. The VM images are in .ova format and should be usable with any modern x64 virtualization system.
