From Netkit Wiki
In this page you can find an archive of ready-to-use Netkit virtual laboratories that focus on specific networking topics. Each lab is equipped with lecture slides, which introduce the topic under consideration and propose experiments to be performed interactively on the running Netkit lab.
Scripts and information needed to perform regression tests are also provided in each lab package (refer to the Netkit documentation for information about how to run self-tests on the labs).
