Abstract :
The authors present a monitoring and management workstation for IEEE 802.3 networks (Ethernet) based on a PC-AT. The monitor performs traffic analysis, detects active machines in the network, maintains a network database with information regarding network topology and machines, filters specific packets or protocols, and can also work as a traffic generator. The system has a user friendly interface simplifying the interaction with the network manager
