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 will introduce SDN in both its theoretical concepts as well as in practical hands-on lectures, in which students will be required to implement SDN applications.


Imbox content.png Unlike previous editions, this edition of the SDN block course will be for 5 days and an examination will be held in late November, early December (The examination date will be announced soon).

.

Note: For this course, basic proficiency in the Python programming language is required.
