Gain hands-on experience working with networking tools

Applied Networking Labs guides readers through the installation and basic operation of software used in the field of networking. Using this book in conjunction with a traditional Networking textbook will greatly reduce the time and effort required to prepare a course. It will also get students excited about the course and give them hands-on experience using various real-world networking tools.
