Reliable Network Management Tool through Internet

This paper presents a number of issues which are relevant to the development of network management tools based on Web interfaces. Specificall y, the following technologies for the network management console are evaluated: HTML, HTML/Java and Tcl/Tk. The pros and cons of the abovementioned technologies are discussed in terms of reliabil ity, probe/console transmision delay, CPU use, data processing and alarm reception capabil ities. To do so, we analyze the implementation issues of a novel network management tool, PROMIS, which performs traff ic monitoring functions with information collected from a number of network probes.
