pkill -9 -f mininet:
*** Shutting down stale tunnels
pkill -9 -f Tunnel=Ethernet
pkill -9 -f .ssh/mn
rm -f ~/.ssh/mn/*
*** Cleanup complete.

原因在于mininet退出时，未将之前定义的拓扑文件清除干净，导致出现重复的拓扑。
解决方法 使用命令 mn -c 清除即可

错误2 Cannot find required executable controller.

*** Starting controller
c0 Cannot find required executable controller.
Please make sure that it is installed and available in your $PATH:
(/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin)

解决：
参考这篇文档 https://blog.csdn.net/qzw0728/article/details/127464469
执行如下命令解决

apt install openvswitch-testcontroller
ln /usr/bin/ovs-testcontroller /usr/bin/controller
