Variations on Ethernet traffic monitoring

The network traffic depends upon the types of requests from network users. Consequently, network traffic monitoring is sensitive to system workload caused by the users. In this project, we study the Ethernet traffic analysis and performance factors which affect the data receiving performance. In brief, we have accomplished the following: study of related Ethernet monitoring efforts; writing the sending and receiving programs above the NIT protocol; working through the Sniffer's network analyzer; and tests of the performance effects of variations on NIT buffer size, CPU power, and available memory space. The report of this project gives insight into the performance issues with, various system parameters, particularly in the file server's alternatives.<>
