This video will show you how to install mininet in virtual box, how to access it in putty, how to enable X server on Windows, How to capture Open flow packets in wireshark.
Best video for Mininet installation. Thank you for making this video! Just a small suggestion: You could've mentioned that we had to start up Xming before opening Wireshark!
i started Xming and still can't open wireshark , this is the error : qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.
How to start Xming (which is needed before opening Wireshark): go to your Xming installation folder run 'XLaunch.exe' next > next > next > save configuration > finish
