Even though monitoring tools are essential to the management of communications networks, Open Source applications still confront their potential users with considerable problems. This work analyses the limitations of the currently existing tools and presents the development of a new tool that solves most of those problems. The tool is based on a new architecture of objects and remote method invocation and allows both centralized and distributed monitoring. Its configuration through web interface, its support to monitoring templates, and its flexibility make it particularly interesting for a large number of users in search of a strong but easily configurable system. The proposed extension system is based on plug-ins and it is highly innovative because of its power and simplicity. Finally, the configuration simplicity and other essential improvements of the proposed system are successfully tested in a real environment.

Nowadays, the heavy reliance on computer networks necessitates minimizing outage time, increasing the availability of services, and preventing network related problems. Such realization requires continuous monitoring and observation. This is not a trivial task. Thus, automatic network monitoring tools are deployed to monitor and analyze the traffic trespassing network devices. There is an increasing demand for automated network monitoring tools and selecting a suitable candidate can become a challenging task. Some computerized network monitoring tools and systems are available, including expensive proprietary/closed-source solutions and Free Open Source Software (FOSS) systems. Three of the most popular FOSS network monitoring systems are: Nagios, OpenNMS and Zabbix. They are solid competitors to the available proprietary solutions. This paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of these tools. A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the tools were conducted through monitoring real-time network traffic. The paper presents a thorough comparison between the tools. The comparison results are vital for network administrators wishing to adopt the studied monitoring tools.

Abstract: A high-performance network is a necessary component of any company's IT infrastructure. All operations, including internal and external communication across different corporate sites, as well as communication with clients and partners, should operate smoothly to enable smooth business activities. Failures and malfunctions in operational procedures can easily result in lost time and money. In order to maintain track of the availability, performance, and bandwidth utilization in an IT network, network monitoring software that continuously monitors operations in the network, does analysis, and warns IT workers as soon as an error happens or critical values are surpassed is highly recommended. If the administrator is not on site, network monitoring allows him or her to intervene swiftly, even if he or she is not there. Of course, each firm has unique requirements for a network monitoring solution, and with so many tools and solutions on the market, careful selection of an appropriate solution is essential. This paper discusses the different alternatives that a network solution can provide provided the appropriate criteria are taken into account during the decision-making process.

Tugas pengelolaan jaringan yang dilakukan administrator jaringan diantaranya yaitu pengumpulan informasi resource jaringan yang tersedia. Teknologi SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) memberikan fleksibilitas bagi administrator jaringan dalam mengatur network secara keseluruhan dari satu lokasi. Aplikasi Network Monitoring Tools berbasis Agent JAVA terdiri dari Master agent yang bertugas untuk melakukan management Request agent serta akses database. Request agent yang bertugas untuk melakukan pemantauan server yang mengimplementasi library SNMP4j dengan sistem multi-agent. Disisi interface, aplikasi Network Monitoring Tools menggunakan media web sebagai interface administrator sehingga dapat digunakan darimana saja  dan kapan saja.  Hasil dari penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa aplikasi yang dibuat bekerja sebagai Network Monitoring Tools mampu bekerja dengan persen error pada kisaran 0-18%. Selain itu Aplikasi ini menghasilkan tren pembacaan data server lebih stabil dan cepat dibandingkan dengan aplikasi Cacti. Hal ini didukung oleh kemampuan Request Agent yang mampu merespon tingkat beban kerja server yang di pantau.

Research community interacts by means of multi-domain networks. Operating policies, set of hardware components, customers, bandwidth configuration varies from network to network. Hard failures like fiber cut, power failures are easy to detect while soft failures which result in packet loss and degrade the throughput are difficult to detect. Present network monitoring tools are subject to single administrative domain. Hence, network cannot be monitored over multiple domains. Performance focused Service Oriented Network monitoring ARchitecture (perfSONAR) is designed and developed by open source community which supports advanced level of network monitoring across multi domain network. In this paper, I have focused on the importance of multi-domain network monitoring and reviewed the work of perfSONAR proposed by various researchers.

To facilitate research into IPv6 protocol, we propose IPMT in this paper, an IPv6 packet manipulation tool that allows rapid encode and decapsulation of IPv6 frames. IPMT offers capabilities of IPv6 packet manipulation, such as packet encapsulation, packet decapsulation, and packet trace. We mainly focus on IPv6 protocols because most popular network tools that are currently used don't support IPv6. We describe the main features of IPMT and demonstrate how the IPMT programming class enables users to easily develop portable IPv6 packet analysis tools without needing to consider the details of the capture format, file compression or intermediate protocol headers. Unlike other popular network tools, IPMT can almost decode all layers all at once. We divide IPMT into two modules and implement the tool and test the tool in a real test scenario to show that the tool works well. At the same time, we design a versatile way of storing decoding information result. As a result, we conclude that IPMT is a valuable contribution to the passive measurement community that will aid the development of better and more reliable IPv6 analysis and network monitoring tools.
