Network Management (NTOP)

Igaware boxes include a network management tool called NTOP that provides network administrators with a simple network traffic measurement and monitoring tool, developed for tackling performance problems on computer networks. A typical example of NTOP in use would be to investigate what type of network traffic is saturating your broadband connection.

NTOP provides:

• traffic measurement
• traffic monitoring
• network optimization and planning
• detection of network security violations

Network management is becoming an increasingly complex task due to the variety of
network types and the integration of different network media. As networks become
larger, more complex, and more heterogeneous, the costs of network management
rise. NTOP supports human effort, gathering information about the status and behavior of networked elements.
