This course teaches how to implement NetVRM, a network management system that enables dynamic register memory sharing between multiple applications on programmable networks. The course covers topics such as virtual register memory abstraction, memory allocation algorithms, P4VRM extension for application development, and the utility-based dynamic allocation policy. The teaching method includes theoretical explanations, practical examples, and testbed experiments. This course is intended for network engineers, system architects, and developers working with programmable networks and network management systems.
