Complete, practical SDN and OpenFlow Fundamentals: over 8hrs

Course details

A practical, hands-on, real world approach to learning and implementing SDN and OpenFlow.

See SDN and OpenFlow in action. Learn SDN and OpenFlow practically. You can set up everything shown here on your laptop using free or demo software.

Learn all tiers of the SDN Architecture:

* Applications - Wireshark, Bash scripts, FlowMaker, HP Network Protector, HP Network Visualizer

* Controllers - Learn OpenDaylight (ODL), ONOS, RYU and the HP VAN SDN Controllers.

* OpenFlow Infrastructure - Mininet switches (Open vSwitch)

Wireshark:

Capture OpenFlow messages using both Linux and Windows based Wireshark.

Technical content:

No sales hype, no fluff. Just technical content.

OVAs:

As part of the course, I have made OVAs available of ODL, RYU and the HP VAN SDN Controller. I have also provided links to download OVAs directly for ONOS and Mininet.

Real world SDN examples:

* The NSA

* Google

* Microsoft Azure

* Facebook

* Microsoft Linux

Update 10 November 2015:
