To plug and play, you can use srnmininet. The following commands launched at the root of the project are sufficient to start experimenting with SRN.
vagrant up vagrant ssh cd srnmininet make start
They create a provisioned VM, launch the default SRN topology and open a Mininet CLI. You can then launch programs inside the emulated network. The following command will tests the latency of a DNS request in a SRN
sr-testdns sr <number_request> <remote_name> <dns_server_addr>
The arguments are defined as follows:
number_request: the number of request to make
remote_name: the remote name to query (in the default topology, it is server.test.sr)
dns_server_addr: the address of the machine on which the DNS server is launched (in the default topology, it is launched in C)
If you wish to launch another topology, you can call in the srnmininet folder (inside the VM):
python scripts/cfg_helper.py --topo <topology-class-name> --log <LOG_LEVEL> --src-dir ../srn --log-dir <logs-directory>
