mptcp on mininet

 这篇文章主要记录mptcp在mininet上的仿真实验。mininet中的网络实验，数据包走的是内核协议栈。这样得出的结果，好处就是实际网络协议栈的性能。缺点就是，要验证新的想法，需要修改内核协议栈。而且关于内核中的数据，比如tcp的拥塞窗口数据，可以参考[4,5]，能否用在mptcp上就不知道了。
 步骤：
1安装mptcp协议栈，参考[1]
2安装mininet。
3运行柯志亨老师的拓补脚本[2],mptcp-simple1-test-yes.py，启动iperf软件，可以测量节点间的带宽。
4在运行iperf的时候，采用xterm启动了两个控制台，xterm h1 h2。但是要抓包，需要另启动一个h1的控制台。
5在xterm h1 启动后，在控制台输入抓包包命令：tcpdump -XX -n -i h1-eth0 -w /yourpath/mptcp.pcap
 下面是我在wireshark中打开的mptcp.pcap的截图，可以看到，网络层使用的协议栈是mptcp，这对于上层应用是透明的。
 关于mptcp的研究，目前处于停滞阶段，现在起步，别说肉了，连汤都喝不到了。能发文章的点，早就被聪明人发完了。入行需谨慎。

my self builf topology

The mininet topology python scripts that I use during the experiment have uploaded to[3]. Here I will show two disjoint paths.
