Software Defined Networking

3 credits · Graduate

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is one approach to designing networks, where network control functions (control plane) is decoupled from the hardware (data plane) like router or switches. The decoupled control plane or controller gathers a global network view to dynamically configure and manage network operations to meet the demand of applications. This course will introduce students to the SDN architecture and show how it can be used to efficiently design various networks. EXCLUSIONS: CSCI 4271
