Prérequis

Students are required to have good knowledge in network protocols, general networking, and network architectures.

Contenu

The goal of this course is to present the recent advances in the architectures of computers network from high performance hardware-based functions to commodity programmable hardware and software functions that are executed in back end datacenters. After presenting traditional IP network architectures, the need for softwarisation of the network functions (NFV: Network Function Virtualisation) is highlighted. The main associated protocols called OpenFlow and Netconf/Yang are presented. The related use cases in the context of corporate networks, 5G, inter-ISP are presented. Specific optimizations NFV implementation problems and solutions are presented. Finally, a more general picture of SDN in the context of Cloud Computing, Edge Computing, Mobile Cloud and Fog Cloud is presented.

Evaluation

The evaluation includes a 3 hour written exam and one lab.
The final grade is computed based on the following ratio: 3/4 of exam grade) plus 1/4 of lab grade.
A second session exam is proposed based on the following ratio: best between ((3/4 of exam grade plus 1/4 of lab grade ) and exam grade.
