The following Network Monitoring Tools grew out of a list that were reported to be in
use at 11 ESnet sites in a
survey
made by the ESnet Network Monitoring
Task Force (NMTF) and completed in October 1995.
For some snapshots of earlier web pages see the
Internet Archive
Wayback site.
Where possible I have provided
hypertext links to further sources of information on the tool.
These links vary in quality
ranging from a pointer to the vendors home page, to the man pages entry, and to how to
download the code.
We welcome corrections such as identifying broken links
(especially if you can provide an alternate/update),
since over the years companies are absorbed by others, disappear, split up,
change their web site etc.
To find broken links, we use
CheckLink suggested by
Brad Canham, and even better the
Chrome browser extension for checking links,
suggested by Brian Albert Jensen.
Others we have found useful include
Link Quality at a Glance suggested by William Chapman.
Another possibility is
Xenu's Link Sleuth also suggested by William Chapman.
Some links such as BasicState and Lemon
give a 404 error code or a 405 code
but appear
to be accessible and so currently are left in.
Others such as NetLogger sometimes timeout, but usually work.
See the Footnotes for some alerts (identified by superscripts).
Suggesting Additions/Corrections etc.
This is a volunteer, unfunded effort. This helps assure
its independence.
Increasingly new additions are from reader suggestions/recommendations.
If you have a suggestion for adding something:
please send an email to Cottrell at slac.stanford.edu
making sure that you
indicate where the tool fits in the hierarchy, provide a URL to get
more information on the tool,
and provide a short
one sentence description of the tool's purpose with no
marketing hyperbole. Also if you notice out of date or incorrect links
(e.g. links that go to sites that are not relevant to the link)
please report. Thanks.
