Notes:

This file contains classes and methods useful for integrating LincOE with Mininet, 
such as startOE, stopOE, LINCLink, and OpticalSwitch

- $ONOS_ROOT ust be set
- Need to run with sudo -E to preserve ONOS_ROOT env var
- We assume LINC-Config-Generator is named LINC-Config-Generator
- We also assume linc-oe is named linc-oe
- LINC-config-generator and linc-oe must be subdirectories of the user's
  home directory

            TODO
        -----------
    - clean up files after runtime
        - maybe save the old files in a separate directory?
    - modify script to allow startOE to run before net.start()
    - add ONOS as a controller in script

            Usage:
        ------------
    - import LINCLink and OpticalSwitch from this module
    - import startOE and stopOE from this module
    - create topology as you would a normal topology. when 
      to an optical switch with topo.addLink, always specify cls=LINCLink
    - when creating an optical switch, use cls=OpticalSwitch in topo.addSwitch
    - for annotations on links and switches, a dictionary must be passed in as
      the annotations argument
    - startOE must be run AFTER net.start() with net as an argument.
    - stopOE can be run at any time

I created a separate function to start lincOE to avoid subclassing Mininet.
In case anyone wants to write something that DOES subclass Mininet, I
thought I would outline how:

If we want an object that starts lincOE within the mininet class itself,
we need to add another object to Mininet that contains all of the json object
information for each switch. We would still subclass switch and link, but these
classes would basically be dummy classes that store their own json information
in the Mininet class object. We may also change the default switch class to add
it's tap interfaces from lincOE during startup. The start() method for mininet would 
grab all of the information from these switches and links, write configuration files
for lincOE using the json module, start lincOE, then run the start methodfor each
switch. The new start() method for each switch would parse through the sys.config
file that was created and find the tap interface it needs to connect to, similar 
to the findTap function that I currently use. After all of the controllers and 
switches have been started, the new Mininet start() method should also push the 
Topology configuration file to ONOS.
