This fork of Mininet allows to use Docker containers as Mininet hosts. This enables interesting functionalities to built networking/cloud testbeds. The integration is done subclassing the original Host class.

• WIP! Not fully functional yet.
• Contributions welcome :)

Based on: Mininet 2.2.1

• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
• Install Docker: curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
• Docker client library: pip install docker-py

• see example topology: examples/dockerhosts.py

• run: sudo python examples/dockerhosts.py
• test: mininet> d1 ifconfig to see config of container d1

• implement, implement, implement
• loglevel('debug') leads to freeze on exit
• STRG+C is not received by container

• Container add, remove
• Connect containers to topology
• Execute Mininet CLI commands inside container
