This is the error is get when I run my python program implementing mininet. I found a thread regarding same issue but none of the methods worked for me.

Here is my code :

#! /usr/bin/python

from mininet.topo import Topo
from mininet.net import Mininet
from mininet.util import dumpNodeConnections
from mininet.log import setLogLevel
from mininet.node import OVSController,CPULimitedHost
from mininet.link import TCLink
from mininet.cli import CLI

class SingleSwitchTopo(Topo):
    "Single switch connected to n hosts"
    def build(self,n=2):
        print('N = %s' %(n))
        switch_1 = self.addSwitch('s1')
        switch_2 = self.addSwitch('s2')
        host=self.addHost('a')
        self.addLink(host,switch_1,bw=5,delay='3ms',loss=2,max_queue_size=300)
        host=self.addHost('b')
        self.addLink(host,switch_1,bw=5,delay='3ms',loss=2,max_queue_size=300)
        host=self.addHost('e')
        self.addLink(host,switch_1,bw=5,delay='3ms',loss=2,max_queue_size=300)
        host=self.addHost('c')
        self.addLink(host,switch_2,bw=5,delay='3ms',loss=2,max_queue_size=300)
        host=self.addHost('d')
        self.addLink(host,switch_2,bw=5,delay='3ms',loss=2,max_queue_size=300)
        host=self.addHost('u')
        self.addLink(host,switch_2,bw=5,delay='3ms',loss=2,max_queue_size=300)
        self.addLink(switch_1,switch_2,bw=15,delay='2ms')

def perfTest():
    topo = SingleSwitchTopo(6)
    net = Mininet(topo=topo,host=CPULimitedHost,link=TCLink,controller=OVSController)
    net.start()
    print "Dumping the Node Information"
    dumpNodeConnections(net.hosts)
    print "Testing the network connectivity"
    net.pingAll()
    CLI(net)
    net.stop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    #Start mininet using perfTest Function
    setLogLevel('info')
    perfTest()

I am trying to add 6 hosts with 2 switches. Is there any work through for this?

Similar thread related to this issue : Mininet Cannot find required executable controller

Tried everything is the above thread. Nothing is working for me.

your problem relies on the single switch topo.

try this passing 6 when you call the function via perfTest

class SingleSwitchTopo(Topo):
  "Single switch connected to n hosts."
  def __init__(self, n=2, **opts):
    Topo.__init__(self, **opts)
    switch = self.addSwitch('s1')
    for h in range(n):
      host = self.addHost('h%s' % (h + 1))
      self.addLink(host, switch)

In case the problem continues, try to configure your code usinh a controller like pox (pox)
