Detailed Description

A basic link is just a veth pair.

Other types of links could be tunnels, link emulators, etc..

__init__()

def mininet.link.Link.__init__	(		self,
			node1,
			node2,
			port1 = None,
			port2 = None,
			intfName1 = None,
			intfName2 = None,
			addr1 = None,

			intf = Intf,
			cls1 = None,
			cls2 = None,
			params1 = None,
			params2 = None,
			fast = True,
		**	params
	)

Create veth link to another node, making two new interfaces.

Parameters

node1	first node
node2	second node
port1	node1 port number (optional)
port2	node2 port number (optional)
intf	default interface class/constructor cls1,
cls2	optional interface-specific constructors
intfName1	node1 interface name (optional)
intfName2	node2 interface name (optional)
params1	parameters for interface 1 (optional)
params2	parameters for interface 2 (optional) **
params	additional parameters for both interfaces

Member Function Documentation

makeIntfPair()

def mininet.link.Link.makeIntfPair	(		cls,
			intfname1,
			intfname2,
			addr1 = None,
			addr2 = None,
			node1 = None,
			node2 = None,
			deleteIntfs = True
	)

Create pair of interfaces.

Parameters

intfname1	name for interface 1
intfname2	name for interface 2
addr1	MAC address for interface 1 (optional)
addr2	MAC address for interface 2 (optional)
node1	home node for interface 1 (optional)
node2	home node for interface 2 (optional) (override this method [and possibly delete()] to change link type)
