Agent 1.0
AGENT is a subclass node that shares the same network namespace as the switch and the controller. Since it is a subclass to the node it can also connect by link to any other component in the network.
Agents supply the basic infrastructure for creating user defined monitoring applications in the network.
-
The first subclass Agent we added is called OpenFlowAgent- an OpenFlow based Agent that connects to the OpenFlow switch.
-
The first two use-cases that give an example on what an Agent can be used for are:
- SamplingAgent - samples every N packet that arrives to the switch.
- SecAgent - samples every packet that arrives to the switch after N seconds.
-
Added two new topologies: SingleSwitchAndAgentTopo(topo) & TwoSwitchAndAgentTopo(topo).
Now if you know how to use mininet the rest is the just the same as using any other component in the network. You'll just need to change the Ryu default module- simple_switch to simple_switch_with_agent_support (file attached in Documentation) and run mininet with the above topologies or creat your own!
We hope our AGENT will help you and that you will create more use cases that are sutable for you and share them with others so we can expand the AGENT toolbox for all of mininet's community.
