I was wondering if someone out there could recommend any good network diagnostic tools that run on a PC or a Sun, either for cash or public domain. I have heard that some things from CMU and MIT exist, but have no details. Monitoring of packet sources and destinations, of various types of protocol, might be handy. Any tips would be much appreciated. (I have played with Sun's traffic program, but it doesn't seems to do much with packets of the ipx [netware] protocol variety). Thanks (wishful thinking) Regards, Paul Matz PPG Biomedical Systems One Campus Drive Pleasantville, NY. 10570 914-741-4685 path ppgbms!moe!paul@philabs.philips.com

Here is the first paragraph from its manual: NNstat is a set of programs that comprise a facility for the distributed collection of Internet traffic statistics. This facility is designed to support the requirements of a network administrator for gathering long-term usage statistics simultaneously at many network entry points... [more] It runs on a Sun under SunOS 3.x and 4.0. If you are interested, I guess the best place to contact is the NSF (the package just showed up on out computer). ALSO, MANY THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED TO MY QUESTION CONCERNING THE NIT INTERFACE UNDER SUN0S 4.0 (for raw sockets)! -------------- Todd Heberlein heberlei@iris.ucdavis.edu 128.120.57.20

With all the good Mac-based work at the NCSA (telnet, et al), not to mentioned Stanford, and others --- there must be *something* out there (preferably PD) that will run on a Mac. Anything -- no matter how simplistic -- would be better than what I have now: NOTHING! -- Kenneth H.
