The network diagram for OPS535 labs

Each students' host machine has a DHCP address assigned by Seneca's network, along with a static address (172.16.X.1) based on their network number given in blackboard.  
They also have a virtual network (192.168.x.0/24) connecting their host machine to their VMs, and to every other students' virtual networks.  Their host machine allows connections between this network and the software defined network so that some of the services we configure will be accessible across the entire class network.
Each student also has a second virtual network (192.168.(x+100).0/24) that is only accessible by their own machines.  This is the virtual network that was created in the pre-lab, and is used to provide services that we want to be available to our own users only.
