This paper describes theimplementation of a remote access internetworking laboratory designed for the purposeof improving student learning outcomes through increased access to internetworkinglaboratory equipment. Technical planning, design, and implementation issues areexamined along with the capabilities and limitations of this implementation. Studentfeedback from a pilot course is presented. Advantages and disadvantages of theimplementation are addressed including scheduling of classes, routine maintenance,management of network topologies, and student
