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)
