Simulation of DDoS attacks using Mininet, in a SDN-based network

Hi, I want to simulate a DDoS attack in an SDN-based network scenario using Mininet. This is an academic project that I need for my project submission. The implementation includes an application that attacks the controller and controller mitigates those attacks using some machine learning (ML) techniques (or any other technique). There is also another aspect, the data could also be spoofed and controller needs to check that as well. This is purely an academic project that would most probably be extending for future research. Thanks!
