In this course, we will discuss the basics of SDN.
In this course, we will discuss the basics of SDN.


The course is organized as a block course as follows:
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 (see grading requirements below) of this course. Depending on the number of attendees, several parts of the work will be conducted in teams of students.
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 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.


The course Advanced Software-defined Networking (M. Inf.1230) will follow a similar structure to provide a more profound knowledge of SDN.

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. In this course, we will discuss the basics of SDN.

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 (see grading requirements below) of this course. Depending on the number of attendees, several parts of the work 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.

Requirements

  • Please make sure that you fulfill the below requirements:
    • Basic knowledge in computer networking (e.g., successfull completion of the course "Computer Networks") and object oriented programming is required.
    • Knowledge of the Python programming language. Students can pursue some online learning courses to get to know Python syntax (see, for instance, here). There will only be a short recap on Python during the class.
    • Basic UNIX/Linux knowledge. For instance, you need to know what a man page is, how to install packages in Linux, and how to use a terminal.

Grading

  • Each participant is required to actively attend the course (80%+ attendance) and earn 50% of the points of the exercises.
  • There will two short quizzes during the course.
  • Students will be required to do a presentation after the end of the course (April 22 2016).
  • Grading will be based on a written report to be submitted by each student, which includes:
    • Slides used for presentation in the seminar (25%)
    • A review of a SDN research paper (25%)
    • Two graded quizzes (25%)
    • Two graded exercises (25%)
  • No exam
