This project requires a virtual network such as mininet and a controller to manage the network such as HP SDN Controller. The user can call intelligent Python scripts via the controller to:

• Redirect the traffic from a source to a destination
• Block a certain traffic passing through a specific switch (In case of a malicious host for example)

• VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
• mininet VM image (http://mininet.org/download/)
• HPE VAN SDN Controller 2.8.8 (http://h30326.www3.hpe.com/hpn/hpe-van-sdn-ctlr-2.8.8-ova.zip?merchantId=MNP_DROPBOX)
• HP SDN Client (https://hp-sdn-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/install.html)

1. Move the script files inside \mininet to the root directory of mininet

2. Move the files inside \controller to the root directory of HP SDN Controller

3. Follow this tutorial install the hp-sdn-client Python library so you can call the scripts on the controller.

• To redirect the traffic between 2 nodes, and passing through specific switches

    python traffic.py "IP_SOURCE" "IP_DESTINATION" ["DPID_SWITCH_1", "DPID_SWITCH_2", ... , "DPID_SWITCH_N"]
  

• To implement an access list on a specific switch:

    python access.py "IP_SOURCE" "DPID_SWITCH"
  

This script will block all incoming/outcoming traffic from IP_SOURCE (and that passes through switch DPID_SWITCH)
