CIS 3760 - Cloud-based Networking

This course focuses on developing cloud-based network, including the foundational knowledge of communication networks for a modern large-scale cloud computing environment. The course explores in-depth concept and identifies challenges for cloud networking. The emphasis is on building a network infrastructure that provides the agility to deploy virtual networks on a shared infrastructure, providing both efficient transfer of big data and low latency communication. In addition, the course provides operational and design rationale. The topics include switching, packets routing, interdomain networking, flow control, congestion control, Quality of Service (QoS), virtualized networks, datacenter network architecture, cloud network requirements and traffic patterns. The course also covers the emerging idea in advancing the current network architecture, the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) to be more specific. Experiential learning includes integration of components from AWS platform to prepare students for AWS advanced networking specialty certification.
