About this course

A gateway will connect clients' Ethernet or IP data, aggregate them together, and transmit them to the cloud servers through reliable and secured network connections. Gateways will need to provide various packet processing functions and networking protocols depending on where it is used, whether in Smart Grid, IoT, or telecommunication applications.

This class will introduce WinPath, a network processor purposely built for gateway applications and WanStaX, a software framework that allows the gateway functions to be software defined and configured. You will be able to learn how you can use existing white boxes equipped with WinPath and WanStaX to develop a gateway that is programmable and customizable for your own applications. This class is a product overview and will not dive into technical details.
