Course Description

Scaling an SDN-enabled network often requires the integration of new physical boxes such as load balancers, content caches, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems into the network. In this course, you will explore how to customize routing to integrate network functions. With SDN, you can program your network to offload some network functionality to these boxes, giving you the ability to orchestrate the flow of packets through a pipeline of middle boxes. You will discover how to scale up network functions by offloading to hardware and scale out applications using SDN and network functions.

You are required to have completed the following courses or have equivalent experience before taking this course:

  • Building Your First Software-Defined Network
  • Optimizing the Flow of Data Through Your Network Using SDN
  • Getting Visibility Into Network Conditions Using SDN
