Network management and traffic analysis for CICNet

Some network management mechanisms for TCP/IP router-based networks are outlined, and the traffic management activities offered in support of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation Network (CICNet) are examined. An overview is given of CICNet, and its topology and network operations activities are described. The traffic engineering and management system developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories for the support of TCP/IP-based LAN interconnection networks is then described in detail. Future directions and capabilities are briefly considered.<>
