[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] network monitoring etc.

Percy,

    Yes, monitoring is a BIG WORD.  Network management (of which monitoring
is only a part) is even bigger.

    If you are interested in these problems, I suggest you join the
GWMON mailing list where most discussion of network management on
IP networks is held. (Regarding the name, it started as GateWay MONitoring,
and grew up).  Send requests to gwmon-request@sh.cs.net.

    You might also keep an eye out for next spring's issue of IEEE Network
which is devoted to Internetwork Management Protocols (and systems).
