Campus Network Design
2. Network Measurements
Famous and Interesting OIDs
SNMPUTIL
GetIF and STG
Activities:
* Play with GetIF, SNMPUTIL, STG,
MRTG Software Measurement Tools..
This is
a team effort. You must decide the most suitable tool for taking
measurements for 24 hours from the routers and switches. Practice. Practice. Practice.
NOTE:
You are welcome to use some other network measurement tools such as: NAI Sniffer,
HPOpenView, Router Stats, Scotty, etc.
3. Analytical Modeling
Queuing Analysis by Stallings
Example: Applying MM1 to Single Network Link
Queueing for fun
Modeling Switch, Router, Server, Workstations,
and Links
Putting
it all together
Activities:
* Read Stallings's QA book
* Start thinking how you would use these analytical techniques for your project
