Learning outcomes
|
The main goal of the course is to introduce advanced technologies in the area of modern computer networks. The course is focused on software-defined networking. Motivation for using this concept are mostly data centres, industrial networks, and intelligent IoT (Internet of Things) networks. In the practical tasks, students will create their own applications for RYU and Floodlight controllers, using OpenFlow protocol.
Students will acquire knowledge of modern trends in computer networks - mostly of software-defined networking technology. Students will be able to create emulated network topologies, manage SDN devices supporting OpenFlow protocol, and implement software applications for SDN controllers RYU and Floodlight.

Prerequisites
|
Prerequisites of the course are basic knowledge of Linux operating system, basics of programming and skills of computer networks corresponding to the CCNA level - switching, routing (static and dynamic), basic networking protocols (ICMP, ARP), configuration of IPv4 and IPv6, principles of firewalls and ACLs. These skills have to be proved by certificates of Cisco Networking Academy courses completion (CCNA R&S 1 - 4), or a corresponding Cisco certification. Students without these prerequisites have to successfully complete assigned practical laboratory task.
