Abstract :
The paper describes how virtualization tools can be used in computer network laboratories to simplify and dramatically reduce its deployment and management costs. In particular, the Virtual Network User Mode Linux (VNUML) free-software tool (developed as part of the Euro6IX 1ST research project) is introduced, showing how it can be used to easily build complex virtual network scenarios.
