Use real IOS in Packet Tracer
With IOSv, IOSvL2, and ASAv all available through VIRL, why not allow these to be used within Packet Tracer. Students may then have a more realistic experience with the IOS. And there would be full support for all of CCNA, CCNA Security, and even CCNP. I believe many Academies would be willing to pay a one-time fee or subscription for this feature. It would be very helpful for Academies that do not use NetLab.

Thank you for the suggestion. We have provided this information to the Packet Tracer team. They have added to their list of enhancements ideas. They will work to implement when possible.
