Fundamentals of Software-Defined Networking

Towards Intelligent and Flexible Networks

About this book

The Fundamentals of Software-Defined Networking: Towards Intelligent and Flexible Networks is a comprehensive, beginner-friendly guide to Software-Defined Networking (SDN), specifically designed for educators, trainers, and professionals transitioning into modern networking. It offers a structured, standards-based approach that starts with fundamental networking concepts and builds up to advanced SDN architectures. Focusing on accessibility and practical application, it emphasizes open-source tools and real-world labs that can be implemented in low-resource environments. It covers key SDN technologies, including OpenFlow, SD-WAN, SD-LAN, NFV, LISP, and orchestration with Ansible, while integrating Python-based automation and RESTful APIs.

Key Features

  • Progressive, beginner-friendly structure ideal for academic and training settings.
  • Hands-on labs using open-source tools such as ONOS, Ryu, Open vSwitch, and Python, plus real-world case studies and projects.
