How can you automate the process of simulating a DDoS attack and evaluating the performance of a DDoS detection model in Mininet?

Automation can be achieved using scripting languages like Python. Scripts can be used to: 1) Configure Mininet with the desired network topology. 2) Simulate the DDoS attack using tools like `tc`. 3) Collect network traffic data. 4) Feed the data into the machine learning model. 5) Evaluate the model's performance using the chosen metrics. 6) Automatically retrain the model periodically to adapt to evolving attack patterns.
