- deutronium 12y agoThis sounds very interesting, does anyone mind explaining the differences between it and VDE though (I'm betting I'm missing how this solution works or its purpose)?

- rumdz 12y agoMininet is a virtual test bed designed for running software defined network experiments via OpenFlow controllers. GENI on the other hand, aims to be a physical test bed spanning the nation connected to a separate backbone for researchers to run their SDN experiments [1].

- huhtenberg 12y agoI believe anyone who did a fair amount of network development in the kernel sooner or later arrives at the idea of a virtual networking framework with switches, hubs and configurable links in between. Half of those will make an attempt to implement it, because it is a fun project, but only few will move beyond tinkering to having something functional. However getting something like this into a shippable production state is a genuinely remarkable achievement :)
