Mantoo - A Set of Management Tools for Controlling SDN Experiments

OSHI -- Open Source Hybrid IP/SDN networking is a hybrid approach allowing the coexistence of traditional IP routing with SDN based forwarding within the same provider domain. In this demo, we will show a set of Open Source management tools for the emulation of the proposed solution over the Mininet emulator and over distributed test beds. We refer to this suite of tools as Mantoo (Management tools). Mantoo includes an extensible web-based graphical topology designer providing different layered network "views" (e.g. From physical links to service relationships among nodes). The framework is able to validate a topology, to automatically deploy it over a Mininet emulator or a distributed SDN test bed, to access nodes by opening consoles directly via the web GUI.
