Content

The lecture gives an overview of relevant technologies in the area of Network Softwarization. This includes Software Defined Networking using Open Flow, Data Plane Programming using P4 as well as Virtualization techniques and Network Function Virtualization. Additionally, current research topics will be discussed. The course is accompanied by practical exercises in which the students apply the learned technologies and solve challenging programming tasks.

Objectives

Students have acquired state-of-the-art knowledge and skills in network softwarization and insight into research topics, which makes them particularly qualified for research work in the field of communication networks. They have an in-depth understanding of how network software can be used to develop new technologies faster and operate networks more efficiently. They can acquire new knowledge and skills independently and carry out application-oriented projects in a largely self-directed manner. They are able to exchange information, ideas, problems and solutions with experts and laypersons on a scientific level.
