00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,460
Welcome to this software defined networking and open flow introductory course.

2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:09,360
My name is David Bumble and I'll be your presenter for this training.

3
00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:17,100
In this course we are firstly going to answer the question what is software defined networking or SDM?

4
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:24,960
There are different definitions and it's often confusing to understand what actually is.

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,310
You speak to three engineers and you get three different answers.

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,070
So I'm going to try and clarify this and explain different definitions of.

7
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:41,850
The next question we're going to answer is, is this stuff actually real?

8
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:45,510
Are people actually implementing software defined networking?

9
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:47,730
Are they using open flow?

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Is open flow and SD in the same thing?

11
00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:52,920
So we'll tackle those questions.

12
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,290
And then I'm going to explain briefly what open STN is and what open flow is.

13
00:00:58,530 --> 00:01:05,310
And in my opinion, no course is good enough if we don't have a demonstration of this actually being

14
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:06,570
used practically.

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,650
So I'm going to demonstrate open flow switches integrated with a controller, in this case the HPE van

16
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:19,680
SDM controller running an application downloaded and installed from the HP App Store.

17
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:25,890
This course is an introduction to multiple courses that cover software, defined networking and open

18
00:01:25,890 --> 00:01:26,430
flow.

19
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:33,750
As we explain in in more detail, you'll see that open flow and SD in are separate concepts and some

20
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:37,470
implementations of SD and do not use open flow at all.

21
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,860
Hopefully by the end of this short course you'll have a good understanding of what SD is and what open

22
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:48,780
flow is, and then you'll be able to decide for yourself which other courses you'd be interested in

23
00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:49,410
taking.

24
00:01:49,890 --> 00:01:55,860
I hope you'll take other courses that I've created that you'll enjoy the content, and most importantly,

25
00:01:55,860 --> 00:01:59,400
that you'll learn something new by taking these courses.

26
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,060
All the very best.

27
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,490
And let's get started.
