Description
Learn how to leverage Docker, SDN, OpenFlow, OpenDaylight (ODL) and Wireshark in your GNS3 networks.
GNS3 allows to you virtualize either simple or complex topologies on your laptop! In these videos we will virtualize a both traditional and OpenFlow based networks. You will learn how to install OpenDaylight (ODL) on an Ubuntu Docker container in your GNS3 network. You will integrate Open vSwitch (OVS) with ODL and create a virtual patch panel using OpenFlow. You will also learn about the OpenFlow protocol and use Wireshark to capture OpenFlow packets sent between an OpenFlow switch and OpenFlow controller.

What is Docker?

Docker is the world’s leading software container platform. Developers use Docker to eliminate “works on my machine” problems when collaborating on code with co-workers. Operators use Docker to run and manage apps side-by-side in isolated containers to get better compute density. Enterprises use Docker to build agile software delivery pipelines to ship new features faster, more securely and with confidence for both Linux and Windows Server apps.

What is a Container?

Using containers, everything required to make a piece of software run is packaged into isolated containers. Unlike VMs, containers do not bundle a full operating system - only libraries and settings required to make the software work are needed. This makes for efficient, lightweight, self-contained systems and guarantees that software will always run the same, regardless of where it’s deployed.
