APNIC Workshop - Software Defined Network
Date : 16 – 18 July 2018, (Mon – Wed)
Time : 0900hrs – 1700hrs
Venue : SMU School of Economics And Social Sciences
Level 2 Seminar Room 2.6
90 Stamford Road

Synopsis
The emergence of SDN (Software Defined Network) has had a disruptive influence on the world of data networking, leading to a fundamental re-think of how networks are designed. This technical workshop will provide an in-depth understanding of the key technological elements of SDN via a combination of lectures and hands-on exercises.
Target audience
Technical staff currently operating an IP and/or MPLS network who are interested in understanding the impact of SDN with a view of implementing elements of SDN in the near future.
Prerequisites
It is assumed that participants will have intermediate-level knowledge of IP routing, routing protocols, management protocols, MPLS protocols, and traffic-engineering.
Course outline
- Introduction to SDN
- Architectural frameworks for SDN
- OpenFlow
- OpenDaylight
- Mininet
- Segment routing
- BGP Egress Peer Engineering
- Segment routing interworking with LDP
Other requirements
Participants are advised to bring their own laptop computers with high-speed Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n/ac) and administrative access to system. It is also recommended that laptops have Intel i5 or i7 processor, >=8GB of RAM and 30GB of free hard disk space.
