SDN Hands On Workshop
Overview
This workshop provides an introduction to simple SDN controller (POX), how applications, written in python, can use the POX controller to command and monitor the OF-based Data Plane representing a switch.
In addition, the workshop provides an introduction to a network simulator, based on Mininet, that can be configured for simulating various network topologies, how a control interface can support programing the switches and, finally, how a tailored application using the POX controller can communicate with the simulated switches and program them.
Objectives
When you have completed this course you will be able to:-
- Understand how to install and run the Workshop SDN environment inside a VM
- Understand how to run the SDN environment (POX controller, Mininet network simulator, wireshark) inside a Virtual Machine (VM)
- Understand how OF switches behave and the effect of configuring flows at the Data Plane level
- Understand the OF message structure and sequence using wireshark
- Understand the Mininet network architecture and its OF environment
- Have basic understanding of the Mininet commands
- Understand how to configure flows in the Mininet network simulator not using a controller
- Understand how POX SDN controller communicates with the Mininet network simulator
- Understand how to run applications that use the POX controller to create Hub & Bridge behaviours
Target Audience
The workshop is intended to explore various aspects of the SDN model using OF.
The workshop is targeting network architects, network managers and network programmers who intend to implement and deploy networks which may require SDN architectures with OF as their southbound API, in the future.
