Part A focuses on the literature review about network management tools and Part B is about the Nagios and its comparative analysis with available modern tools. Assignment 1- Part A: Network Management Tools For this part of the assignment, write a report on exploring four network management tools by reviewing the literature including research papers and book chapters. This part of the report must: • Explain tools with their features • Discuss network bandwidth analysis using each tool • Provide a recommendation in terms of socio-technical context for a particular tool based on the analysis carried out Assignment 1-Part B: Wireshark Each student will need to work on an assigned set of website and capture packets on their home network. The students are assigned the set of websites based on their MIT ID from Table 1. After capturing packets from the websites the students are required to submit their reports on the Moodle with screen shots of packet capture and the required graphs. The set of websites include a website of a news channel and a website for live streaming. The students are required to capture packets of images and audio from the news channel website and capture packets from the live stream website while streaming for 10 minutes on their home network. The students are required to analyse the network performance for the assigned websites: 1. Time Sequence Graph 2. Throughput Graph 3. Load Distribution MN504 Networked Applications Page 3 of 3 Prepared by: Dr Sharly Joana Halder Moderated by: Dr Mohammad Mohammad Nov, 2021 4. Identify IP Address and TCP port number client 5. Identify the sequence number for TCP SYN Table 1: Website Allocation Assignment Instructions: • Assignment-1 should be submitted as an MS Word document. • Do not use Wikipedia as a source or a reference • Must consider at least eight (three for part A and five for part B) current references from journal/conference papers and books. Must follow the IEEE referencing style. • Make sure you properly reference any diagrams/ graphics used in the assignment.
