AICTE Sponsored Faculty Development Programme on SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS. 2019

This FDP aims to inculcate practical knowledge and experience the real-time applications of Software Defined Networks (SDN). The traditional rigid networking is not suitable to meet the current needs of applications which require dynamism, intelligence and controllable networks when huge number of devices and systems get connected as in smart city, automated vehicles etc. There is an urge to redefine the concepts of networking to suit flexibility, automation and security which can be achieved through SDN. The participants will gain clear cut knowledge on the core concepts of SDN. They will be trained by the eminent academicians and industrial experts working currently in various domains of SDN like telecommunications (Ericsson – 5G), controllable switches and routers (CISCO – South Bound API), application interface (VMware – North bound API). It will widen their views and paves way for new innovations and scope for new research initiatives. The theme of this FDP is to upgrade the technical skills of recent trends in networking and thereby disseminating the gained knowledge to the student community in the right way and serve the society with many new inventions in this game-changing field of the era.

To overcome the drawbacks of traditional networking through agility and flexibility of SDN
To respond quickly to changing business requirements
To orchestrate the network resources dynamically through controllers
To design and develop SDN networks
