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.
