Abstract

In this paper, a Software Defined Network was created in Mininet using python script. An external interface was added in the form of an OpenDaylight controller to enable communication with the network outside of Mininet. The OpenDaylight controller was hosted on the Amazon Web Services elastic computing node. This controller is used as a control plane device for the switch within Mininet. The OpenDaylight controller was able to create the flows to facilitate communication between the hosts in Mininet and the webserver in the real-life network. In order to test the network, a real life network in the form of a webserver hosted on the Emulated Virtual Environment - Next Generation (EVE-NG) software was connected to Mininet.
