A monitoring system for an Ethernet installation
M.S. Leuner, Joseph L. Hammond · 2003
Eight existing monitoring systems of Ethernet networks are reviewed and found to address subsets of significant parameters. Data are taken from one operational Ethernet network, which implements the centralized monitoring technique, and analyzed to determine both its characteristics and the effectiveness of the centralized monitoring system. The authors consider the measurement parameters of importance to an Ethernet network and propose an improved monitoring system which utilizes a hybrid technique for obtaining the parameters.>
