It allows the user to see traffic load on a network over time in graphical form. It was originally developed by Tobias Oetiker and Dave Rand to monitor router traffic, but has developed into a tool that can create graphs and statistics for almost anything. MRTG is written in Perl and can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS and NetWare.
Snort is a free open source network intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) [4] created in 1998 by Martin Roesch, founder and former CTO of Sourcefire. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Snort is now developed by Cisco , which purchased Sourcefire in 2013.
A common usage is to monitor network traffic by polling a network switch or router interface via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Cacti end user front end supports both User and User Groups security models and supports Role Based Access Control (RBAC) for access to not only monitoring data, but various areas of the user interface.
PRTG (Paessler Router Traffic Grapher) is a network monitoring software developed by Paessler GmbH. It monitors system conditions like bandwidth usage or uptime and collect statistics from miscellaneous hosts such as switches, routers, servers, and other devices and applications.
Free and open-source software portal; Zeek is a free and open-source software network analysis framework. Vern Paxson began development work on Zeek in 1995 at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. [3] Zeek is a network security monitor (NSM) but can also be used as a network intrusion detection system (NIDS). [4]

Network performance could be measured using either active or passive techniques. Active techniques (e.g. Iperf) are more intrusive but are arguably more accurate. Passive techniques have less network overhead and hence can run in the background to be used to trigger network management actions.
Some network monitoring tools generate visual maps by automatically scanning the network using network discovery protocols. The maps are ideally suited for viewing network monitoring status and issues visually. Typical capabilities include but not limited to: Automatically scanning the network using SNMP, WMI, etc. Scanning Windows and Unix servers
