Exercises

The exercises directory contains a set of exercises that leverage the
kathara-lab-checker tool to offer autocorrection for students.

Each exercise includes specific requirements that students need to meet. Using the kathara-lab-checker,
students can run tests to ensure that their configuration meets the criteria, receiving feedback if any adjustments are needed.

Exam Labs

The exam-labs directory contains the network scenarios used for the practical exams of the course
"Internet and Data Centers" at Roma Tre University.

For each scenario you can find a .pdf file containing the exam's text and the relative solution.

You can use it for training and practice!

Netkit Labs

If you need additional network scenarios, you can visit the old Netkit Lab Page.

Beware those network scenarios are not tested on Kathará, so they may not work properly!
