RE: Network Management Sofware [7:52886]

I like the event notifications of Network Performance Monitor better. It
allows you to get them by interfaces going up/down as opposed to the entire
router. However, the What's Up network mapping feature is nice.

In any case, Network Performance Monitor is one of a suite of tools that are
all pretty useful.

I've seen it on Unix platforms: Solaris, Redhat, Mandrake. Not sure about
Windows. Please post further information if you get any.

Keep in mind any monitoring solution using SNMP will add traffic to the
network and CPU load to the monitored devices.
