Description
In this paper, Mininet-WiFi was used to simulate a Software Defined Network to demonstrate Mininet-WiFi's ability to be used as the Software Defined Network emulator which can also be integrated to the existing network using a Network Virtualized Function. A typical organization's computer network was simulated which consisted of a website hosted on the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) virtual machine, and an F5 application delivery controller (ADC) which provided load balancing of requests sent to the web applications. A website page request was sent from the virtual stations inside Mininet-WiFi. The request was received by the application delivery controller, which then used round robin to send the request to one of the web servers on the LAMP virtual machine. The web server then returned the requested website to the requesting virtual stations using the simulated virtual network. The significance of …
