Introduction to SDN and OpenFlow

Description

In this course, you will :

• Distinguish between various SDN visions.
• Determine whether or not SDN is "real" today.
• Explain the concepts of Open SDN, SDN via APIs, NFV, and other related concepts.
• Describe the process of updating flow tables.

Syllabus :
