• 安裝 Mininet
• 寫一個 mininet script
  • Topo 為 1 switch 連接 2 hosts
  • 設置 switch 的 fail mode 為 secure/standalone
• 分別在 secure/standalone 下測試 pingall，並比較與理解其差異

請參閱 Mininet安裝教學

• standalone: controller 連接失敗時，ovs-vswitchd 接管封包轉發，轉發行為同 legacy switch，此時後台仍會嘗試連接 controller，一旦連接上就會退出 fail mode
• secure: controller 連接失敗時，ovs-vswitchd 不會接管封包轉發，此時若需轉發的封包在 table 中沒有 match rule 就會被丟棄

• Mininet API
