Re: What is a cyber-range?

[Jason Lewis <jlewis () packetnexus com>]

The RFI's I've seen suggest millions of virtual machines that can
simulate a global network.  If that is even feasible is another story.
 Example: http://www.scmagazineus.com/researchers-simulate-a-botnet-of-1-million-zombies/article/140988/
  That botnet doesn't even address the routing topology, which seems
to be one of the goals of a cyber-range.

Claims that a single commodity box could do that misses the point of
the simulation.
