本文介绍了Mininet的低级、中级和高级API，用于控制节点、开关以及构建网络。低级API直接操作节点和链接，中级API常用于启动和停止网络，而高级API（如Topo）则简化了网络创建。虽然中级API更简单，但低级和中级API提供了更多灵活性。注意，Mininet 2.2.0之前的版本，高级Topo不支持节点间多链接，而低级API则可以。在中级和低级API中，可以手动指定控制器控制的交换机。

Mininet’s API is built at three primary levels:

* Low-level API: The low-level API consists of the base node and link classes (such as Host,Switch, and Link and their subclasses) which can actually be instantiated individually and used to create a network, but it is a bit unwieldy.


* Mid-level API: The mid-level API adds the Mininet object which serves as a container for nodes and links. It provides a number of methods (such as addHost(), addSwitch(), andaddLink()) for adding nodes and links to a network, as well as network configuration, startup and shutdown (notably start() and stop().)mininet 对象作为一个容器提供了几个功能，如方便的添加节点，链路，配置网络，开启关闭网络等。


* High-level API: The high-level API adds a topology template abstraction, the Topo class, which provides the ability to create reusable, parametrized topology templates. These templates can be passed to the mn command (via the --custom option) and used from the command line.

It is valuable to understand each of the API levels. In general when you want to control nodes and switches directly, you use the low-level API. When you want to start or stop a network, you usually use the mid-level API (notably the Mininet class.)
Things become interesting when you start thinking about creating full networks. Full networks can be created using any of the API levels (as seen in the examples), but usually you will want to pick either the mid-level API (e.g. Mininet.add*()) or the high-level API (Topo.add*()) to create your networks.
Here are examples of creating networks using each API level:
Low-level API: nodes and links

h1 = Host( 'h1' )                                                                                                     
h2 = Host( 'h2' )                                                                                                     
s1 = OVSSwitch( 's1', inNamespace=False )                                                                             
c0 = Controller( 'c0', inNamespace=False )                                                                            
Link( h1, s1 )                                                                                                        
Link( h2, s1 )                                                                                                        
h1.setIP( '10.1/8' )                                                                                                  
h2.setIP( '10.2/8' )                                                                                                  
c0.start()                                                                                                            
s1.start( [ c0 ] )                                                                                                    
print h1.cmd( 'ping -c1', h2.IP() )                                                                                   
s1.stop()                                                                                                             
c0.stop()

Mid-level API: Network object

net = Mininet()                                                                                                       
h1 = net.addHost( 'h1' )                                                                                              
h2 = net.addHost( 'h2' )                                                                                              
s1 = net.addSwitch( 's1' )
c0 = net.addController( 'c0' )                                                                                          
net.addLink( h1, s1 )                                                                                                 
net.addLink( h2, s1 )                                                                                                 
net.start()
print h1.cmd( 'ping -c1', h2.IP() )                                                                                   
CLI( net )                                                                                                            
net.stop()

High-level API: Topology templates

class SingleSwitchTopo( Topo ):                                                                                               
    "Single Switch Topology"                                                                                                  
    def build( self, count=1 ):                                                                                      
        hosts = [ self.addHost( 'h%d' % i )                                                                                   
                  for i in range( 1, count + 1 ) ]                                                                                
        s1 = self.addSwitch( 's1' )                                                                                           
        for h in hosts:                                                                                                       
            self.addLink( h, s1 )                                                                                             

net = Mininet( topo=SingleSwitchTopo( 3 ) )                                                                               
net.start()                                                                                                               
CLI( net )                                                                                                                
net.stop()

As you can see, the mid-level API is a bit simpler because it doesn’t require creation of a topology class. The low-level and mid-level APIs are flexible and powerful, but may be less convenient to reuse compared to the high-level Topo API.
Note also that in Mininet versions before 2.2.0 the high-level Topo doesn’t support multiple links between nodes, but the lower level APIs do. Currently Topo also doesn’t concern itself with which switches are controlled by which controllers (you can use a custom Switch subclass to do this, as described above.) With the mid-level and low-level APIs, you can manually start the switches if desired, passing the appropriate list of controllers to each switch.
