| 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.
| |
| In this course, we will discuss the basics of SDN.
| |
|
| |
| The course is organized as a block course as follows (for the detailed structure, please see this table):
| |
| Initially, two lectures introducing the main motivation, concepts and state-of-the-art of SDN will be given.
| |
| Afterwards, we will have a short peak into the most recent research from both industry and academia, which is going to define the future of SDN.
| |
| In this session, students will select one paper of interest that they will present towards the end of the course.
| |
| The course then continues with an introduction to Mininet [http://mininet.org/], and students are expected to perform some basic experiments on creating and using a virtual network based on Mininet.
| |
| After the experimentations, students will present the paper they selected earlier.
| |
|
| |
| For all parts of the course, exercises will be provided, in which students must obtain at least 50% of the total points to be admitted to the examination of this course.
| |
| The exam is taken by submitting a report of 15-20 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.
| |
|
| |
| The course Advanced Software-defined Networking (M. Inf.1230) will follow a similar structure to provide a more profound knowledge of SDN.
