Course Overview

Software-defined networking (SDN) has recently attracted both researchers in academia and big players in communication technologies, and is currently probably the 'hottest' topic in computer networking. This course is a continuation of the "Introduction to SDN" course and we will focus on gaining an advanced knowledge of SDN. The course is organized as a block course. Please see the following "Schedule" table for a detailed structure. The course will focus on reading and understanding recent papers in the SDN field to gain an in depth understanding of the current state of the art and potential research topics. We will also do a lot of exercises to familiarize ourselves with SDN tools.

For all parts of the course, exercises will be provided, in which students must obtain at least 50% of the total points and active participation in the group discussions to be admitted to the examination of this course. The exam is taken by submitting a report of 10-15 pages summarizing the lessons learned during the lectures and exercises as well as the research papers investigated (a LaTeX template will be provided). Depending on the number of attendees, several parts will be conducted in teams of students.

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge in computer networking (e.g., successful completion of the course "Computer Networks") and object oriented programming is required.
  • Completion of the course "Introduction to SDN", exceptions can be obtained on a case by case basis.
  • Each participant is required to actively attend the course and earn 50% of the points of the exercise.
  • Written report at the end of the course. The report should include the following:
    • Exercises results + code
    • Short report on the group discussion papers
    • Report on the paper presented by team-X for the final presentation

General Hints

  • Use the following option to get more debug info while using pox
    • $ ./pox/pox.py log.level --DEBUG misc.of_tutorial
    • NOTE: There are two "-" (i.e. --) used for options in mininet/pox. In the wiki, sometimes the two lines

join up and show as one line.

    • Best not to use the command prompt within the VM, but to use terminals created by ssh (e.g. via Putty)
      • e.g. xterm h1 doesn't work
      • there were also issues while starting pyretic

Exercise V: Kinetic firewall

  • Note that -l in the instructions (e.g. infected -1) is not a numeric "1", but the small version of "L"
  • Kinetic Firewall Instructions, Starting_Code

Exercise VI (Part A): Pyretic Debugging

Exercise_Pyretic_Debugging

Exercise VI (Part B): Kinetic like firewall using pox

Exercise VII: Basic ONOS

Exercise VIII: ONOS Application

  • Try to create your own simple ONOS application (e.g. firewall, SFC, load balancer) looking at the tutorials given
    • Disclaimer: I am also working on this
  • You can also use this time to finish with the other exercises and do the above at home


Requirement and Due Date for Final Report (E-Mail to Mayutan)

Imbox content.png Note: The final report is due on April 30th.
  • Submit your final report (in .pdf format) as well as code (in .py format) as one zipped file with your name.
subject line of email: Submission of work for Specialization in SDN

Name of attachment: name.zip, e.g., if when I submit the final work, the file will be named: Mayutan.zip

NOTE: Your final report (LaTeX Template) should include:

  • Title sheet showing your name and matriculation number
  • Papers discussed during GD-I, GD-II, GD-III, GD-IV
Papers of each GD should be summarized in 1 page using the review form.
  • One review form (3 pages each) for each of the paper your group was assigned during the course for the final presentation (Use this review form).
Those who need to write an additional review of a paper presented during the final presentations: ().
These extra pages will be for those who don't ask questions during others' presentations. 
Therefore, highly recommended that all of you make a first and second pass of the papers belonging 
to other groups. 



Make sure that you write your own review. Copy/Paste reviews from other participants of the course 
will not be accepted. The reviews are individual work.
  • screenshots to prove that the code is working for those who didn't show it to me during the lecture. Please refer to the Exercise Section above.
  • The slides (if any) you used for presenting your papers in class.
No need to improve the slides after presenting.
