Pre-Requisite(s): 23CSEXXX Computer Networks
Course Objectives
The main objective of the course is to impart knowledge on the basic concepts related to Software Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and Implementation of SDN. The focus then shifts to understating different SDN Controllers and security in SDN.
Course Outcomes
CO1: Understand the challenges and opportunities associated with adopting SDN compared to traditional
approaches of networking.
CO2: Understand the underlying technologies that enable SDN, including OpenFlow, north and southbound
APIs, controllers, and overlays.
CO3: Analyze the operations of SDN network consisting of switches and a centralized controller through simulation.
CO4: Comprehend the functionalities and applications of NFV.
