Hello to all!
To start, I know that there is a mininet mailing list. I have already
sent an e-mail to there, but until now, I had no response.
This is my issue.
I have created a python program to create a testing topology.
For some reason, when I use the "addHost" method and use the argument
"mac" to specify the mac address for the host interface, mininet
ignores the provided mac address an seems to create and specify the
hosts with random mac addresses.
I do not know why this is happening... Can anyone help me?
This is my Python program
#### Starts here
#!/usr/bin/python2
"""
Custom Network Topology
2 different zones each controlled by a different Controller
Each controller manages 3 OpenFlow switches
Each OF Switch has 3 hosts connected
Each zone has a triangle shaped topology, where all switches are
conected to the controller
2 Switches from each zone, interconnect the two zones
- Switch 2 from Zone 1 connects to the Switch 1 from Zone 2
- Switch 3 from Zone 1 connects to the Switch 2 from Zone 2
The two controllers are remote controllers, residing outside from
the mininet environment.

I start this program, named "testing_scenario.py", inside the Ubuntu
VM provided in the mininet website, by using the following console
command:
sudo ./testing_scenario.py
