  • start_mininet.sh (debugging)
  • start_pox.sh (defines which sdn cript is used)
  • experiment.py (central run script)

In experiment folder:

sudo python experiment.py

• python test (in root directory)
• use python test 1-3 to select which kind of implementation to test
• Attention: You have to run local Cassandra / Redis instances in order to run the corresponding test cases.
