In this week's module I learned about our work styles. For my own work style I lean towards being a "Get Along" or people oriented work style. I strongly desire for everyone in the group to get along and work together. I will also let others make decisions in the group and tend to follow the group decision even at the expense of my own personal opinion. I also learned about conflict and the different conflict styles. One thing I found particular interesting was the conflict spectrum. I was to place myself somewhere on the spectrum between conflict is negative and conflict is positive. On reflection I found myself leaning more towards conflict being positive. Even though I would like to avoid conflict, I do understand that it can be necessary to ensure that the best decisions are made. Everyone has a different perspective and brings those differences to the table. So although my work style was "Get Along", I also am okay with conflicts in the group if they are leading to better decisions.
This week, we developed a deeper understanding of the network control plane and explored routing algorithms such as Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford, focusing on how they determine the most efficient paths for data transfer. We also learned about the SDN control plane, which allows for dynamic network management and routing. In addition to the theory learned this week, we conducted a network lab exploring the use of a basic SDN controller using Mininet and Wireshark. We looked at how Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), can be used for network diagnostics, particularly for network troubleshooting with tools like ping and traceroute.
