Professor Aditya Akella at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is teaching an advanced graduate level class on rethinking the internet architecture that makes heavy use of OpenFlow. A major part of the class is practical experimentation with OpenFlow. Specifically students will write NOX modules that implement new protocols which can then be run on the OpenFlow topology that he has set up. Some of the OpenFlow nodes in the topology are NetFPGA cards, thus it is additionally possible to try out new forwarding hardware. For more information have a look at the class home page and the reading list.
