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.
bmon is a free and open-source monitoring and debugging tool to monitor bandwidth and capture and display networking-related statistics.It features various output methods including an interactive curses user interface and programmable text output for scripting.
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.
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.
Cacti allows a user to poll services at predetermined intervals and graph the resulting data. Through the use of Cacti plugins, it has been extended to encompass all of the FCAPS operational management categories. It is generally used to graph time-series data of metrics such as CPU load and network bandwidth utilization. [4]
Able to leverage more than one server to distribute the load of network monitoring. Inventory Keeps a record of hardware and/or software inventory for the hosts and devices it monitors. Platform The platform (Coding Language) on which the tool was developed/written. Data storage method Main method used to store the network data it monitors. License
Gain information for effecting a network intrusion; Identify data collection and sharing of software such as operating systems (for strengthening privacy, control and security) Aid in gathering information to isolate exploited systems; Monitor WAN bandwidth utilization; Monitor network usage (including internal and external users and systems)
Bandwidth test software is used to determine the maximum bandwidth of a network or internet connection. It is typically undertaken by attempting to download or upload the maximum amount of data in a certain period of time, or a certain amount of data in the minimum amount of time.
