Hi,
I want to connect an optical network simulated in OMNET++ to an SDN controller of MININET and also wants to control my network with that controller. Can anyone suggest me how can I connect these?
Thank you in advance.

Saadane Rachid thank you for your reply. I already implemented an OBS network in OMNET++ but I want to control it using SDN controllers. So, is it better to implement a controller in OMNET++ or connect controller implemented in MININET? which one will be better, easy and less complicated ?
Hi Srija, to the best of my knowledge, OMNeT++ is a simulator and Mininet is an emulator (I've used both), so I don't think connecting Mininet with OMNeT++ is feasible.
I believe the best option would be implementing a controller in OMNeT++ (probably you will be able to find some implementations online already), but please note it will be a simulated controller (i.e. modelled). If that's ok for you, then go ahead. But if you need to use a real controller for some reason, then you'll probably need Mininet and you'll probably have to migrate your work in OMNeT++ to the switches in Mininet (either OVS, ofsoftswitch, etc.).
I hope this helps!
Elisa Rojas thank you so much for your reply. Its really very helpful as u have explained it in details.
My paper may help you
