The lab will be interconnected to the Virtual Internet Exchange and able to peer directly on the peering-lan, as well as receive a full BGP table.
Unlike myself, my lovely wife is an Apple fan. She has an Iphone 4S and has had the opportunity to play with an Apple Ipad 3 (which I had at home for work) for a while. She absolutely loved it!

After a bit of googling, I found this old post. It no longer applies to the current code, so I worked around it using that post. Here is what I did:
