Hi Andre,

An in-band controller just means that it sits in the “middle” of the network connected to a given switch. This way when some switch sends a packet in it uses the link it normally uses to forward traffic.
If you want to emulate it using mininet there are a few examples just look for "in-band controller mininet”, for example http://techandtrains.com/2013/10/04/in-band-controller-with-mininet/ . The important thing is to give each switch a ip address and then run the controller in a mininet host.

Regards,
Pedro
