Abstract

Within the past decade, TCP/IP network environment has been explosively widespread all over the world. As the internet and the WWW expand their boundaries, the network traffic caused by data transfers over the internet has also increased. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a WebTraMAS (Web-based Traffic Monitoring and Analysis System) which can resolve the shortcomings of current management approaches, particularly on the network traffic monitoring and analysis. The WebTraMAS presented in this paper performs the network management activities based on the parameters related to the MIB-II of SNMP and the parameters related to the QoS such as network performance and fault. The proposed WebTraMAS, implemented using the WWW technology, is able for the network manager to manage the network easily and platform independently with the performance analysis of internet traffic.

최근 들어 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 사용하고 있는 통신망들은 전 세계적으로 엄청나게 증가하고 있다. 특히 인터넷과 WWW(World Wide Web) 서비스의 증가는 통신망에서의 트래픽 증가를 더욱 가속화하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 네트워크 트래픽 모니터링 및 분석을 위한 요구사항을 조사하고, 웹 기반의 트래픽 모니터링 및 분석 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 또한 SNMP 분석 파라미터들을 정의하고 이를 이용하여 네트워크 트래픽 분석을 수행한다. 마지막으로 수집된 트래픽 결과를 기반으로 분석 형태에 따라 GUI(Graphic User Interface)형태로 표현한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 시스템은 웹을 이용하여 플랫폼에 종속되지 않고, 분석 파라미터에 따라 인터넷 트래픽 상황을 분석할 수 있도록 하여 사용자가 자신의 호스트에서 직접 인터넷 트래픽을 관리할 수 있다.
