CSCI321 : IT2/1A : Physical Network Aid Mr Ee Kiam Keong Lim Willie, Chua Shui Li Tan Yong Meng Shirley Chin Noraizah Naftalia

Team Chart

Based on the given descriptions on the project outline and some interactions with Mr. Ee, we break our researches into three main area, 1. Network packet analyzer 2. Network management system 3. Network virtualization Market Researches

1. Network packet analyzer Wire Shark is an open source product that offer network packet analyzing 2. Network management system Nmap is an open source product that offer network exploration 3. Network management system ManageEngine OPManager is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization. Market Researches

4. Network management system Huawei iManager U2000 is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization. 5. Network management system StableNet is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization. 6. Network management system Hitachi IT operation analyzer is GUI network virtualization. It also provide monitoring and fault reporting on owned network IT devices. Market Researches

Common features available, 1. Physical hardware information 2. Software information 3. Network information 4. Storage for the information 5. Warn/Alert feature Weak or missing feature, 1. GUI presentation 2. Profile management for specific environment. Conclusion from the researches

Features 1. Intelligent Network Discovery 2. Automated Network Visualization Mapping 3. Network Visualization Mapping Manipulation 4. Device Information Extraction 5. Smart Network Monitoring 6. Network Profile Management 7. Network Information Management Optional feature 1. Fault Reporting or Alerting 2. Intrusion Detection System Project Scope

Future Projection – Network discovery IPv6 NDP feature – Device extraction module, Use of WMI, SNMP Use of SMB Server and client environment. Use of SSH – Platform dependent, Targeted to be able to work on Linux Targeted to be able to work on Mac Targeted to be able to work on Android

Future Projection – Alert module improvement, Sms alert (need of a mobile phone service) – Virtual Mapping Better visual display Animated display Sound features, example, alarm, ping and many more. – Virtual Mapping Manipulation More important information requirement input by user
