Mininet Docker Image

Mininet with OpenFlow and OpenVSwitch in a Docker container. Available resources:

• Supports Python2 and Python3
• Can be used to run mn directly, as well as run a OS command and download a script to run with arguments (thanks to https://github.com/ciena/mininet-docker) - see usage below
• Light-weight docker image based on Debian slim and include tools such as tcpdump, iperf, socat, curl, etc
