Network Performance Advisor
The NLANR Network Performance Advisor is
an easily customizable framework that provides a single application to integrate the measurement, analysis, and
display of network performance statistics.
The Advisor enables the writing of the analysis and display portions by
providing a platform to allow easy integration of any number
of network diagnostic tools, combined with the ability to uniformly
query the results of these tools. It contains a network
performance analysis tool and a network debugging utility designed
for network engineers, and knowledge of a number of
diagnostic tools, including ping, ifconfig, Iperf,
and the Web100 suite of tools. Due to the Advisor's
design, new analysis and display tools are easy to write,
and new network diagnostic tools are straightforward to
integrate.
The Advisor distinguishes itself by its ability to display
and analyze an extremely broad set of network statistics, due to
its ability to integrate any network diagnostic tool.
