Abstract :
By combining virtualization technologies, virtual private network techniques and parameterization of network scenarios it is possible to enhance a networking laboratory, typically carried out in university laboratory premises using equipment located there, by interconnecting it to virtual networks running on the students´ own personal computers. This paper describes some experiences applying this model to create hands-on assignments for a large group of students in computer networking education.
