Several of the electivesand graduate courses also are implemented in the environment. More details about the coursesincluding a recent syllabus can be found on the Iowa State University Information Assurancewebsite [4]Virtual Laboratory – ISELabThe ISELab virtual laboratory provides a real world networking environment for students. TheISELab provides 120 publicly addressable IP ranges “borrowed” from the Internet. These IPranges are connected to the backbone “Internet” network within the ISELab to allow students towork in or run their own “corporate” network. ISELab is air
