Abstract

The network weather map and bandwidth time-series graph are popularly used to understand the current and past traffic condition of NSP, ISP, and enterprise networks. These systems collect traffic performance data from a SNMP agent running on the network devices such as routers and switches, store the gathered information into a DB, and display the network performance status in the form of a time-series graph or a network weather map using Web user interface. Most of current enterprise networks are constructed in the form of a hierarchical tree-like structure with multi-Gbps Ethernet links, which is quietly different from the national or world-wide backbone network structure. This paper focuses on the network weather map for current enterprise network. We start with the considering points in developing a network weather map system suitable for enterprise network. Based on these considerings, this paper proposes the best way of using SNMP in constructing a network weather map system. To prove our idea, we designed and developed a network weather map system for our campus network, which is also described in detail.
