Installation

1. Install docker if you don't already have it.

2. Clone the repository to local

   git clone https://github.com/DINGDAMU/Network-wide-heavy-hitter-detection
   

3.  cd Network-wide-heavy-hitter-detection
   

4. If you want, put the p4app script somewhere in your path. For example:

   cp p4app /usr/local/bin
   

   I have already modified the default docker image to dingdamu/p4app-ddos:nwhhd, so p4app script can be used directly.

5. ./p4app run nwhhd.p4app 
   

   After this step you'll see the terminal of mininet

6. Open a new terminal

    cd nwhhd.p4app 
   

7. Enter the terminal of Docker

    bash terminal.sh 
   

8. Activate interface veth0 to monitor all packets in the Network

    ip link add name veth0 type veth peer name veth1
    ip link set dev veth0 up
    ip link set dev veth1 up
   

9. Start controller in Docker

    sudo python3 controller.py
   

10. Go back to mininet terminal and run following command within 5s (5s is the time interval) We set 10 time intervals in this case

    pingall
    

11. Check the results of controller
