Learning Outcomes for Module 3 – In Network Monitoring, Caching and Control (DVAD43)

April 25 – June 5, 2022

During the last six weeks, the focus will be on applying data plane programming and P4 to advanced network monitoring, network caching and network based control. You will both read about theoretical aspects of network monitoring P4 and practically learn how to implement them in P4. This will help you to generate new ideas in how to apply P4 to create advanced network monitoring solutions using programmable data planes.
