Advanced Communication Networks
5.0 ECTS creditsThe course includes a review of SDN and different networking architectures. The course mainly covers the following:
- Networking architectures
- Software Defined Networking (SDN)
- Traffic engineering (for instance through Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS))
- Data centre networks and aspects of energy efficiency
- Network management with SDN
Attention is also paid to ongoing technological developments in the field.
Instruction is in the form of lectures, individual reading supported by study guides and supplementary material, hand-in assignments, laboratory sessions, and a seminar. Students are required to search for, collect, compile, and present relevant information for a specialisation assignment.
