- This workshop will provide an understanding of the key technology elements of SDN via a combination of lectures and hands-on exercises.
Target Audience
- Anyone currently operating an IP and/or MPLS network who is interesting in understanding the impact of SDN with a view to implementing elements of it in the near future.
Pre-requisites
- This workshop is not an introduction.
- It is assumed that the workshop participants have working knowledge of IP routing, MPLS protocols and traffic-engineering, along with know how to use a router command line interface.
- The lab exercises use IOS-XR (XRv) CLI and Ubuntu VMs
