Nice link, however if you could please let me know what are the difference
between ns3 vs gns3 vs mininet ? They seem to be almost similar. If yes
what are the pros and cons.
ns3, gns3 are network simulators.
ns2/3 - simulate your network devices and runs protocols. Its logical
simulation.
gns3 - runs the actual network device (software) , you should give the
device image(cisco ios image) to run the device and connects the topology.
mininet = linux containers + openvswitch+traffic . just a python framework
to create a topology and runs.
I remember, i have taken a SDN session with mininet a year back in ILUGC
monthly meet.
