Xu, Le; Huang, Dijiang; Tsai, Wei-Tek – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2014
Hands-on experiments are essential for computer network security education. Existing laboratory solutions usually require significant effort to build, configure, and maintain and often do not support reconfigurability, flexibility, and scalability. This paper presents a cloud-based virtual laboratory education platform called V-Lab that provides a…
