This class aims to give a clear understanding of the operational similarities between Network Operating Systems (NOSs) and Software Defined Networking (SDN), focusing on the three design levels: management, control, and data planes. Understanding both paradigms is essential for network management in both traditional and modern network environments. In the final part of this class is also presented the next laboratory.

Laboratory session to introduce the virtual machine (VM) that it will be used along the course. Using the previous VM: learn how to create an emulated host using the concept of Linux NameSpaces; learn how to add, configure and enable the network interfaces on each host; learn how to create a network link connecting two interfaces; learn how to create a Linux bridge (or switch) that will be connecting the two hosts of the current topology; learn how to add to the switch the associated interfaces of the two network links previously created; and learn how to test the current emulated (or virtualized) topology.
