Mininet is a container orchestration system for network emulation. With Mininet and onos.py, you can easily start up an ONOS cluster in a single VM or server. This is usually the most convenient way to create an ONOS development environment on your laptop, and you can be up and running in a matter of minutes (or seconds if you have already built ONOS and have already installed Mininet!)
