About IIT Bhubaneswar : Online Course on Software-Defined Networks & its Applications

Software-defined Network (SDN) is considered as one of the promising paradigms for the Future Internet. It allows users to configure the network depending on the application-level requirements due to the separation of control programs from data plane. However, there lies certain challenges in SDN– the capability of heterogeneous packet processing leads to imbalance of traffic load in the network. Due to the increase of traffic load, the network devices consume a large amount of energy. This creates emission of CO2 to the environment. In
addition, it is necessary to understand the impact of end-toend security violations in SDN and possible attacks on controller, data plane, and applications.

Thus, it is essential to consider heterogeneous scenarios with multiple control attack types that need to cooperate and share data, and yet defend against the potential of malicious or disruptive behavior of the attacker. On the other hand, enabling various control functions in the control plane requires implementation of function virtualization technology. Moreover, for enhanced performance and strengthening security perimeter, placement of different controllers in network topology is yet another challenge to be solved. The vision of this course is to make the community aware of the performance, security, reliability, and scalability issues of Software-defined Network from both fundamental theoretical and practical deployment perspectives.

The course will highlight the existing performance and security challenges in SDN across various domains and the potential solutions for those challenges. In addition, the course will cover practical sessions on simulating existing controller’s functions and analyzing performance with heterogeneous topology and case studies in different applications.
