Description
Mininet is computer network emulator tool written in Python. I am working on running Mininet on Jupyter Notebook for educational purpose. Mininet uses Xterm to open a terminal for student to access to their networking simulation procedures.
Xterm: On Unix-like operating systems, the xterm command is a terminal emulator for the X Window System.
Is there any possible solution so as to view the xterm terminal window(GUI) inside the jupyter Notebook environment(Web Browser)?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing how Jupyter Notebook displays interactive content in a web browser and how Mininet launches xterm. Investigate whether the requested GUI can be embedded in the notebook environment, then define a supported approach and a demonstrable browser-based result as done; no specific files or tests are named.
