How to Practice SDN

How to Practice SDN

The list of learning resources

We can learn/practice about the SDN by using the following list of resource/reference books which are based on the SDN OpenFlow based process and concepts , like

  • Software Defined Networking (SDN): Anatomy of OpenFlow® Volume I
  • Software Defined Networking with OpenFlow
  • Software Defined Networks: A Comprehensive Approach
  • Network Innovation through OpenFlow® and SDN: Principles and Design
  • OpenFlow® Cookbook
  • The Road to SDN: An intellectual History Of Programmable Networks and also the list of books about the General Networking Technologies are like the ,
    • Computer Networks: An Open Source Approach
    • Patterns in Network Architecture: A Return to Fundamentals and also refer the presentation video from the following you tube url

Other technologies with SDN

To perform the Visualization process , we need to learn/practice about the  basic knowledge about the Technology which is based on the SDN concepts, like, Linux,Python,Scripting languages , Network Programming languages,GNS3, NS2, SDN Controller (for example pendaylight),OpenVswitch,OpenFlow,Mininet (Simulation), NFV, openStack, API (for example Rest),One Controller ( for example Cisco),NSX (for example Vmware),Framework ( for example Ryu).
