Course Description

Computer networks depend on multiple forms of abstraction to scale and, in fact, to function at all. Although some of this abstraction can be seen, such as flooding domain boundary summarization and route aggregation, much of it is hidden, such as in the logical construct of a network device, the operation of BGP route reflectors and the data plane protocol stack.

Abstraction In Computer Networks LiveLessons examines abstraction in theory as well as practice in many places it is used in the construction of network devices, software, and networks. The relationship between abstractions and complexity is discussed, as well as tradeoffs and common problems.

The viewers learn how to think about abstraction and why it is important that they are hidden. They will also learn how to find abstraction in unexpected places, how to think about leaky abstractions and how Keith's Law, the first corollary of Keith's Law, impact abstraction, including unintended consequences. Abstraction also relates to the State/Optimization/Surface tradeoff triad, so a section of this LiveLesson considers that tradeoff and how abstraction controls the speed and amount of state, impacts the depth and breadth of interaction surfaces, and reduces optimization.
