Question

I have python file, I want to run in mininet. But I do not know where to save file and how to run it

Answer 1

Once you have created a node in Mininet, you can treat that node as if it was a virtual machine. You can simply use the name of the node followed by the name of your Python script, for example:

First I create a simple topology

sudo mn

Then I can call a Python script from inside any of the nodes in the topology:

h1 python3 ~/scripts/myscript.py
