Educational and research use Beyond production operations, qcow2 images of network OSes are invaluable for education and research. Universities and training providers can build labs that let students configure routing protocols, evaluate protocol convergence behavior, or study telemetry outputs. Researchers experimenting with novel control-plane extensions or resilience mechanisms can modify virtual instances and observe interactions without impacting live networks. The virtual format democratizes access to vendor platforms that would otherwise require expensive hardware.
