Download Part A – Network Protocol Development in C (from scratch)

Description

Part A – Network Protocol Development in C (from scratch), the network protocol development training course in C language, part one, has been published by Udemy Academy. This course presents a case study where we implement similar OSPF (Open Path First) and ISIS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) internal gateway protocols. Both ISIS and OSPF are IGP protocols that fall under the category of link-state protocols and achieve the same goals. Don’t worry, we’ll cover all the necessary theory about what we’re going to implement in the project before we dive into the first line of project code. We will implement a simplified version of the real ISIS protocol using our tcp-ip stack library. The goal is to learn the nuances of implementing a common network protocol on a device from scratch. This case study aims to provide first-hand experience of what it takes to implement a typical network protocol on a (simulated) device. If you are interviewing for a network development role in a company that requires entry-level 2-3 years of experience, or if you are making a career change to network development, the interviewer will be impressed by seeing the project on your resume.

What you will learn

Understanding how to implement network protocols in network devices
Implement new features incrementally
Packet processing, updating protocol data structures through packet processing
Implementation of complex protocol state machines and network algorithms
Debugging and troubleshooting code to solve problems
The goal of this project is to gain proficiency through experience in the end-to-end implementation of a common network protocol

Who is this course suitable for?

Developers aiming to work in the field of networking / distributed systems / system programming
Not for those looking for non-development roles (this course is developer oriented)
Not for those still struggling with basic data structures, basic C programming concepts
Job professionals, job seekers, career changer to network developer
