Question:

Construct the given topology using Python API of mininet. [Make sure that the switches are
connected using the addLink() function.]

Make a report. Include your python code at first. Then include the following activities:

 Run pingall and briefly discuss the output [in the report with snapshots] observed in
Wireshark.
 Run individual pings from one host to another. Find out which ping needed maximum
round trip time (or delay). Write a brief observation [in the report with snapshots].
 Run iperf for each pair of nodes and briefly discuss your observation [in the report with
snapshots].
 {Optional} If you save time doing the earlier studies, see if you can run snort to sniff the
packets generated by mininet. Write a brief observation [in the report with snapshots].

Note: If you are not able to do any of the tasks mentioned above, at least run mininet with
a topology of your choice and write a report on that.
