Welcome to module 2: March 14 – April 24, 2022
Learning Outcomes – Datacenter Networking and Load Balancing (DVAD42)
March 14 – April 24, 2022
During the following six weeks, the focus will be on applying data plane programming and P4 to data center networks and network layer load balancing. You will both read about theoretical aspects of load balancing inside data center networks 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 data center loadbalancing solutions.
Week 6: 18/4-24/4/2022
Read the articles
The following scientific articles will be discussed in week six:
