Learning Outcomes

Within the last decade, telecommunication networks have undergone a huge transformation from voice to data transmission. This is reflected in a set of new protocols for data transmission as well as new control paradigms. Often these protocols are extensions of the well-known Ethernet and IP families that provide manageability, monitoring and reconfigurability. The advent of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) means that network operators require new programming skills to quickly understand and influence the behavior of a network under load or under attack. Students completing this module will be familiar with Telecom network protocols ranging geographically from the home router to the core network. They will be able to configure primary and backup paths, write applications for the Open Network Operating System (ONOS) network controller, and detect a mis-configured network device.

Content

The goal of this course is to introduce the field of IP-based telecommunication networks. The focus of the course is on the lower layers of the protocol stack. The integrated course consists of a lecture and parallel practical assignments. The lecture introduces architecture and protocols of Telco networks such as * Introduction to telecommunication network architecture: home router, access aggregation, BRAS/BNG, IPv6 * Optical networks introduction: survey of principles and characteristic products * Ethernet fundamentals, Gigabit Ethernet, 10GE, 40GE, 100GEthernet (IEEE 802.3 standards) * Control plane for Ethernet: the IEEE 802.1 family * SONET/SDH: The voice-grade network. Circuit switching at the (very) large. * (G)MPLS: Switching circuits under IP? * SDN and OpenFlow: Towards white box switches and intelligent control planes * Network config: When OpenFlow is not enough: ovsdb, OFConfig, netconf/yang. * Programming the network: can I deploy my own firewall/⁠cache/⁠router? The practical part will start from a network emulator (mininet) and OpenFlow controllers (Ryu, ONOS). What is a soft switch? How does it work internally? We introduce white box switches and create our own applications that switch 10s of Gigabit/s Linux network configuration via iproute2 as well as C, C++ and python skills are advantageous, but the assignments can adapt to the individual level of competence.
