Udemy – Part B – Network Protocol Development in C (from Scratch) 2022-1 – Downloadly

Descriptions

Part B – Network Protocol Development in C (from scratch) First of all, congratulations on completing Part A of this course where we develop the Adjacency Mgmt feature of the protocol. I hope you liked it and had a lot of fun learning. Are you sure you are now comfortable with developing timer based state machines? And here a new challenge begins as we enter Phase 2 of the project – Link State Database Mgmt. Each router uses its Adjacency Objects sitting on an interface to build its local Link State Database. The challenge, however, is that each router needs to share its own local copy of the Link State Database (LSDB) with every other router in the topology running the ISIS protocol so that each router has a coherent and shared view of the IGP topology. This is the end goal of this phase of the project. We will continue using timers as Phase 2 also depends heavily on timers to achieve its goals. Besides timers, this project will also introduce us to the world of asynchronous programming. The GOAL of this project is to take you through the experience of an end-to-end implementation of a typical network protocol. In this case study, we have chosen a routing protocol as an example, but the complex logistics of implementing a typical network protocol are more or less the same.

What you will learn

Understand how network protocols are implemented on network devices
Packet processing, updating the protocol data structures through packet processing
Debugging and debugging code to resolve issues
Implement new features gradually
Implement complex protocol state machines and network algorithms
The GOAL of this project is to walk you through the experience of an end-to-end implementation of a typical network protocol.

Who is this course suitable for?

Core developer aiming to work in the area of network / distributed systems / system programming
Not for those seeking non-development roles (This is a purely development-focused course)
Not for those who are still struggling with basic data structures and basic C programming concepts
Professionals, job seekers, domain changers to network developers, learners hungry for knowledge
