Introduction

Advanced network management entails monitoring and controlling various network devices on today's networks in order to provide a more reliable, secure and efficient network environment.
This course focuses on recent advances in networking and management technologies. The course will briefly review the architecture of Internet and its protocols, and discuss various operation and management issues.

Evaluation:

• Evaluation on each student will be done based on the following:
  1. Class Participation - 20%
  2. Examination - 40%
  3. Assignments - 40%
• Note: the above evaluation scheme may change slightly during the course.

Assignments:

• Schedule
  1. Assignments #1 (10%): Paper reading & presesntation
  2. Assignments #2 (10%): Network Emulator

     A network emulator (GNS3 or EVE-NG, etc.) should be used to install 4~6 routers on a personal laptop or server in each laboratory, configure OSPF/BGP, and then demonstrate communication between terminals (VirtualPC, tiny Linux, etc.) connected to each router.

     Basic router configuration methods will be explained in Basic Routing Protocols lecture.

  3. Assignments #3 (10%): Paper reading & presentation
  4. Assignments #4 (10%): Mininet/ONOS
