Learning Outcomes – Introduction to Data Plane Programming (DVAD41)

January 24 – March 13, 2022

During the initial seven course weeks, the focus will be on familiarizing oneself with the online learning spaces, connecting with peers and facilitators. In addition, you will start reading about the theoretical foundations of data plane programming in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the area. You will get a basic introduction to the P4 language, and can work on three basic labs, that will make you familiar with programming in P4. For that, you will be getting access to a Virtual machine that comes preinstalled with developing environment and mininet network emulator. On the discussion slack, you will share expectations, background knowledge, as well as your own experiences and practices.
