A new For Your Information (FYI) Request for Comments is now available
from the Network Information Center in the online library at
NIC.DDN.MIL.
Note: This is a PostScript FYI RFC, a secondary version is available in
ASCII. The secondary ASCII version may lack figures and the
information encoded in typographic variation (italics, boldface,
etc.). Since this information often provides esssential context, the
ASCII version is at best incomplete and at worst misleading. Anyone
expecting to understand this document is strongly encouraged to obtain
the PostScript version.
This FYI can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL. Using FTP, login
with the FTP username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST. Use the pathname
FYI:FYI2.PS, or RFC:RFC1147.PS (for the secondary version use
FYI:FYI2.TXT, or RFC:RFC1147.TXT).

RFC: 1147:
Title: FYI on a Network Management Tool Catalog:
Tools for Monitoring and Debugging TCP/IP Internets
and Interconnected Devices
Author: R. Stine, Editor
Mailbox: STINE@SPARTA.COM
PS-Pages: 126 ASCII-Pages: 177
PS-Characters: 555,225 ASCII-Characters: 336,906

RFC:RFC1147.PS
The goal of this FYI memo is to provide practical information to site
administrators and network managers. This catalog contains
descriptions of several tools available to assist network managers in
debugging and maintaining TCP/IP internets and interconnected
communications resources. Entries in the catalog tell what a tool
does, how it works, and how it can be obtained.
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify any standard. It is not a statement of IAB policy or
recommendations. Comments, critiques, and new or updated tool
descriptions are welcome, and should be sent to Robert Stine, at
stine@sparta.com, or to the NOCTools working group, at
noctools@merit.edu.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
FYIs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
FYI:FYImm.PS, or RFC:RFCnnnn.PS (where "mm" refers to the number of
the FYI and "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC) for the PostScript
version, and FYI:FYImm.TXT, or RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT for the secondary ASCII
version. Access with FTP-username ANONYMOUS and FTP-password GUEST.
The NIC also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP. Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the
subject field of the message indicate the file name, as in "Subject:
SEND FYI:FYImm.PS, or SEND RFC:RFCnnnn.PS" for the PostScript version,
or "Subject: SEND FYI:FYImm.TXT, or SEND RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT" for the
secondary ASCII version.
Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the FYI RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL. Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the FYI RFC itself, all FYI RFCs are
for unlimited distribution.
Submissions for FYI RFCs should be sent to JKREY@ISI.EDU.
Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
