Olav Kvittem, UNINETT
UNINETT, a distributed academic research network in Norway, has created
its own set of network management tools. We are focusing on automated
statistics-gathering and presentation for proactive problem solution and
customer information.
Our tools' most unique features are listed below, with toolnames in
parentheses:
- Autozooming geographic network map and info system
(possibly the first and only).
- Animation on map of any measured parameter, such as link and CPU
load,
packet loss and delay, or network flow parameters (Nemo)
- Automated, scaled, link statistics gathering (zino)
- Network status monitoring tool with precise link failure statistics
(zino)
- Aggregation with Web-based trend graphs and sorted tables for all
statistics
- Round trip measurements for IPv4/IPv6 with statistical
parameters (mping)
- Netflow collection (flow-tools), aggregation and presentation
- Passive monitoring data collection system (Scampi)
- Campus network management system with automated topology discovery and
statistics,
shadow suppression alarms, load map, and mac-address tracing (Nav)
