SDN research topics in University of Crete, FORTH, and other places
Course Logistics
The course will cover SDN principles, OpenFlow, SDN controllers, network virtualisation, software-defined radio, SDN security, and SDN research topics. The students will prepare 5 programming assignments on which their grading will be based (there will be no final exam or midterm). In addition, there will be guest lectures on selected research topics from experts in the area.
Learning Outcomes:
Tools for programming and managing computer networks (OpenFlow, P4, ONOS, OVS, mininet, etc.). Basic principles of Software Defined Networks (SDN). Modern topics and research related to network programmability. Introduction and exercises with python. Knowledge: Having attended and passed the course, the student is able to know advanced computer network protocols, with an emphasis on the protocols and technologies used in SDN networks. Understanding: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student has achieved a better and deeper understanding of how real network computing works, with emphasis on specific cases such as data center networks. Application: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to set up and program virtual computer networks. Analysis: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to make a critical analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of different computer network technologies. Synthesis: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to combine individual tools and methodologies to successfully solve network problems. Evaluation: Having attended and succeeded in the course, the student is able to evaluate proposed network solutions.
