Cloud SDN

Catalog description

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging networking technology that has been rapidly changing the networking industry and networking research. By separating the network control from the underlying packet forwarding hardware, SDN lowers the entry-point for innovation in network control and enables a global approach to specify complex networking tasks in one single control framework, which promises significant simplification of network management, control, and monitoring. SDN has gained significant traction among major industrial players including Cisco, Broadcom, Google, IBM, and Intel, and has been deployed in wide area networks, campus networks, and data centers. In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of SDN and gain hands-on experience.
