      Condition There are no formal conditions. However, knowledge in the domain of computer networks, undergraduate level is desirable, as well as the knowledge of Python or Java programming languages.
      The goal The goal of this course is to explain principles of operation of computer networks based on SDN (Software Defined Networking) architecture, programmable data planes and virtualized network functions. The set of applications suitable to be implemented in these technologies will be defined. Students will be fully capable to develop SDN applications that manage computer networks.
      The outcome Students will gain knowledge about modern software defined networks and programmable data planes and become capable to develop applications for network management in these technologies.
