As the walkthrough says mininet should be able to use containers but
currently not doing that. See last part of:
http://mininet.org/walkthrough/#interact-with-hosts-and-switches

But. There is a version of mininet that supports PID namespaces and
hence makes it possible to use conatiners. It's somewhat a bit old
though. It's supported up to mininet 2.1.0.
