MininetCliDriver is the basic driver which will handle the Mininet functions

Some functions rely on STS module. To install this,
    git clone https://github.com/jhall11/sts.git

Some functions rely on a modified version of Mininet. These functions
should all be noted in the comments. To get this MN version run these commands
from within your Mininet folder:
    git remote add jhall11 https://github.com/jhall11/mininet.git
    git fetch jhall11
    git checkout -b dynamic_topo remotes/jhall11/dynamic_topo
    git pull


    Note that you may need to run 'sudo make develop' if your mnexec.c file
changed when switching branches."""
