Virtual Network Laboratory

Advanced technical education requires that instructors have a suitable set of tools available. We participate in NSF-sponsored research to expand the capabilities and assess the impact of the Open Network Laboratory that was developed at Washington University in St. Louis.

Overview

For a introduction to ONL, see the ONL web site. A detailed video shows ONL's features and capabilities. We have used ONL in the "ECE 671 - Computer Networks" (formerly ECE 697AA) course for lab assignments.
