CloudNetworking

Programming Assignments of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign(UIUC) Cloud Networking Course I studied on Coursera (View Certificate) - November 2020

Objectives

Explore in-depth how to build a network infrastructure that provides the agility to deploy virtual networks on a shared infrastructure, that enables both efficient transfer of big data and low latency communication, and that enables applications to be federated across countries and continents.

Syllabus

Module 1: Physical network structure

• Look at how the increasing demand for bandwidth within data centers is influencing the network’s design.

Module 2: Cloud routing and congestion control

• Look at routing and switching for physical and virtual machines and congestion control.
• See how the network is moving deeper into the physical hosts in order to address the networking needs of virtual machines.

Module 3: Management and sharing of network infrastructure in cloud data centers

• Learn how software-defined networking and network virtualization are addressing these problems.

Module 4: Cloud WAN connectivity

• Inter-data center WAN connectivity, content distribution networks, end-user Internet connectivity, and application interactions with the network.
