This document outlines the syllabus for an Advanced Computer Networks course. It includes the following key points: 1. The course is taught by Dr. S. Sridevi and covers milestones in conventional networking, software defined networking (SDN), and applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to network management, security, and data analysis. 2. The pre-requisite for the course is an Introduction to Computer Networks course. 3. The course outcomes are for students to understand conventional and SDN, implement SDNs using Mininet and Raspberry Pi, and understand network management and security using AI/ML algorithms.

Software Defined Networking 12
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an approach to networking that uses
software-based controllers or application programming interfaces (APIs) to
communicate with underlying hardware infrastructure and direct traffic on a
network.
The dumb hardware controllers performs the task
determined and commanded by the intelligent controllers
