TREMA BASED DEPENDENCY ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR LEARNERS IN BUILDING SDN NETWORK CONSTRUCTION EXERCISES
Hlwam Maint Htet, A Me Tun · Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering · 2024
In the field of Software-defined networking (SDN), it has gained significant traction in research and innovation, with universities and research labs being pivotal in fostering academic advancements that accelerate industrial change. This research work has been motivated especially for e-Learning platform and have been developed to educate learners. While the users build SDN construction exercises, novice learners often struggle to understand network behavior and meet communication data requirements. In this system, learners use Trema to construct SDN exercises leveraging the OpenFlow protocol for communication between controllers and switches. Learners encounter challenges, such as ping failing to identify delivery routes through switches, switches lacking the functionality to log rules for output port selection, and Trema being unable to track execution statements for setting rules. To mitigate these challenges, the system offers visual configuration to help learners and resolve incorrect communication issues.
