FYI on a Network Management Tool Catalog:
Tools for Monitoring and Debugging TCP/IP Internets
and Interconnected Devices
Status of this Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
unlimited.
Abstract
The goal of this FYI memo is to provide an update to FYI 2, RFC 1147
[1], which provided practical information to site administrators and
network managers. New and/or updated tools are listed in this RFC.
Additonal descriptions are welcome, and should be sent to: noctools-
entries@merit.edu.
Introduction
A static document cannot incorporate references to the latest tools
nor recent revisions to the older catalog entries. To provide a more
timely and responsive information source, the NOCtools catalog is
available on-line via the Internet and Usenet.
news comp.networks.noctools
ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu:/doc/noctools
Because of publication delays and other factors, some of the entries
in this catalog may be out of date. The reader is urged to consult
the on-line service to obtain the most up-to-date information.
The index provided in this document reflects the current contents of
the on-line documentation.
The NOCtools2 Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) has compiled this revised catalog. Future revisions will be
incorporated into the on-line NOCtools catalog. The reader is
encouraged to submit new or revised entries for (near-immediate)
electronic publication.

RFC 1470 FYI: Network Management Tool Catalog June 1993
The tools described in this catalog are in no way endorsed by the
IETF. For the most part, we have neither evaluated the tools in this
catalog, nor validated their descriptions. Most of the descriptions
of commercial tools have been provided by vendors. Caveat Emptor.
Acknowledgements
This catalog is the result of work on the part of the NOCTools2
Working Group of the User Services Area of the IETF. The following
individuals made especially notable contributions: Chris Myers,
Darren Kinley, Gary Malkin, Mohamed Ellozy, and Mike Patton.
Current Postings
The current contents of the NOCtools catalog may be retrieved via
anonymous FTP from wuarchive.wustl.edu. The entries are stored as
individual files in the directory /doc/noctools.
"No-Writeups" Appendix
This section contains references to tools which are known to exist,
but which have not been fully cataloged. If anyone wishes to author
an entry for one of these tools please contact us at:
noctools-request@merit.edu
Keep in mind that if these or other tools are included in the future,
they will be available in the on-line version of the catalog.
Each mention is separated by a <form-feed> for improved readability.
If you intend to actually print-out this section of the catalog, then
you should probably strip-out the <ff>.
How to Submit/Update an Entry
1) review the template included below to determine what
information you will need to collect,
2) review the keywords to see what your indexing options are,
3) assemble (update) catalog entry to include results of
1) and 2).
4) Submit your entry using either of the following two methods:
a) Post your submission to: comp.internet.noctools.submissions
b) Email your submission to: noctools-entries@merit.edu
New entries will be circulated automatically upon reception. As time
permits, the NOCtools editors will review recent submissions and
incorporate them into the master indexes. Enquiries regarding the
NOCTools2 Working Group [Page 2]
RFC 1470 FYI: Network Management Tool Catalog June 1993
status of a submission should be E-Mailed to:
noctools-request@merit.edu
Those submitting an entry to the catalog should insure that any E-
mail addresses provided are correct and functional. Either the
catalog editors or prospective users of your tool may wish to reach
you.

Keywords
This catalog uses "keywords" for terse characterizations of the
tools. Keywords are abbreviated attributes of a tool or its use. To
allow cross-comparison of tools, uniform keyword definitions have
been developed, and are given below. Following the definitions,
there is an index of catalog entries by keyword.
Keyword Definitions
The keywords are always listed in a prefined order, sorted first by
the general category into which they fall, and then alphabetically.
The categories that have been defined for management tool keywords
are:
o the general management area to which a tool
relates or a tool's functional role;
o the network resources or components that are
managed;
o the mechanisms or methods a tool uses to
perform its functions;
o the operating system and hardware environment
of a tool; and
o the characteristics of a tool as a hardware
product or software release.
NOCTools2 Working Group [Page 5]
RFC 1470 FYI: Network Management Tool Catalog June 1993
The keywords used to describe the general management area or
functional role of a tool are:
Alarm
a reporting/logging tool that can trigger on specific
events within a network.
Analyzer
a traffic monitor that reconstructs and interprets pro-
tocol messages that span several packets.
Benchmark
a tool used to evaluate the performance of network com-
ponents.
Control
a tool that can change the state or status of a remote
network resource.
Debugger
a tool that by generating arbitrary packets and moni-
toring traffic, can drive a remote network component to
various states and record its responses.
Generator
a traffic generation tool.
Manager
a distributed network management system or system com-
ponent.
Map
a tool that can discover and report a system's topology
or configuration.
Reference
a tool for documenting MIB structure or system confi-
guration.
Routing
a packet route discovery tool.
Security
a tool for analyzing or reducing threats to security.
Status
a tool that remotely tracks the status of network com-
ponents.
NOCTools2 Working Group [Page 6]
RFC 1470 FYI: Network Management Tool Catalog June 1993
Traffic
a tool that monitors packet flow.
The keywords used to identify the network resources or components
that a tool manages are:
Bridge
a tool for controlling or monitoring LAN bridges.
CHAOS
a tool for controlling or monitoring implementations of
the CHAOS protocol suite or network components that use
it.
DECnet
a tool for controlling or monitoring implementations of
the DECnet protocol suite or network components that
use it.
DNS
a Domain Name System debugging tool.
Ethernet
a tool for controlling or monitoring network components
on ethernet LANs.

ous" mode).
NMS
the tool is a component of or queries a Network Manage-
ment System.
Ping

sages; to help distinguish tools, we do not consider
NMS queries or protocol spoofing (see below) as probes.

tions may apply (tools that are part of an OS distribu-
tion but not otherwise available are not listed as
"free").
Library
a tool packaged with either an Application Programming
Interface (API) or object-level subroutines that may be
loaded with programs.
Sourcelib
a collection of source code (subroutines) upon which
developers may construct other tools.
