This is an introductory course explaining different visions of what SDN actually is. The course also shows you real world implementations of SDN in very large networks as well as high security networks.
You will also learn about how OpenFlow separates the control and data planes of networking devices.
You will then see a practical demonstration of an application communicating with an SDN controller and Open vSwitch devices.

David, as a long time networking professional, over 25, years and started learning about SDN from the protocol level last year I found your course excellent.
Very well structured, the right amount of basics concepts with the practical included. Even though I did some deep dives with OF protocol last year and read several books on ACI for example.
Your course was easy to follow, grasp and learn the basics and find out about some other tools.
The part on how the controller and application from the app. store integrate was fantastic.
I already duplicated the labs for my own learning purposes, for I had mininet since January but didn't do much with it until your course.
Great job....I look forward to others.
