VLC streaming in Mininet. 2 switches with equal number of hosts connected to each switch
First, place the controllers 2snh_ssim_Controller_congest.py, 2snh_ssim_Controller_QoS.py into the right location:
$ cp controllers/2snh_ssim_Controller_congest.py ~/pox/pox/misc/
$ cp controllers/2snh_ssim_Controller_QoS.py ~/pox/pox/misc/
Decide the number of hosts in the topology - say 4 for example
set the controller file global variable n = 4
then, start running the controller 2snh_ssim_Controller_QoS.py:
$ pox/pox.py log.level --DEBUG misc.2snh_ssim_Controller_QoS
Run the python script which sets up the topology (with a total of 4 hosts as decided above) and does vlc-streaming:
$ sudo ./myvlctest.py 4
