This directory will allow you to materialize a Virtual Box VM using vagrant that has mininet-2.1.0, OVS-2.0, and patched to make it easy to use OpenFlow 1.3 with mininet. To use it: 1) Install Virtaul Box: https://www.virtualbox.org/ 2) Install Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/ 3) In this directory, run at the command line vagrant up This will build and configure the VM and run it. 4) In this directory, run at the command line vagrant ssh (This will ssh to the VM you just ran) 5) You can then run mininet for OF 1.3 using sudo mn --topo single,3 --controller 'remote,ip=' --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13 Many thanks to Fred Hsu who turned me onto Vagrant: http://fredhsu.wordpress.com/2013/11/04/vagrant-with-opendaylight/ Many thanks to Michal Rehak who did the original underlying work to figure out how to get mininet working with OF 1.3 and is the original source of the mininet patch: https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Openflow_Protocol_Library:OpenVirtualSwitch
