The OFERTIE project is complementing its dissemination activities by releasing SDN/OpenFlow educational material, principally in the form of slide decks and tutorial exercises (built around the open source Mininet environment).
The aim of doing so is to allow either students studying SDN, individuals working with SDN in industry, or anyone else with an appropriate data networking background to share in the insights gained by the OFERTIE project in running its experiments in the context of ROIAs.
The following material is currently available:
- A slide deck introducing SDN concepts and OFERTIE, available here (PPTX).
- Diagrams used in the slide decks, available here (OmniGraffle).
- A Mininet tutorial, see https://github.com/OFERTIE/ofsoftswitch13-testing.
All material is available under a Creative Commons BY licence, designed to encourage reuse of the material. We ask that any such reuse is attributed by “This work is derived from material that received funding from the EC’s 7th Framework Programme under grant agreement 318665 (OFERTIE).”
The material is being used as part of the curriculum for the COMP3210 Advanced Computer Networks module at the University of Southampton.
