When you say monitoring... Do you mean servers and network gear or just network? What type of gear? What kind of information are looking to get? (How detailed?) What kind of budget do you have? Really all of those are needed to make a recommendation. I'm guessing this is a small network? How many devices? -Kevin ------Original Message------ From: Joshua William Klubi To: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: Monitoring Tool Sent: Jun 14, 2010 2:12 AM Hi I have been tasked to develop a good network for a Bank and i have also been tasked to get a good monitoring tool for the Bank's local network and Service providers network. i would like to ask the community to help recommend the best tool out there that can help me do this Joshua

On the control of the Internet.

http://volokh.com/2010/06/13/32843/ What happens when the US shuts down part of its part? Depends on what part it shut down, of course. But what are the available boundaries for the parts in question? Will that have to change? For example--what happens when name-service information for a part that is not shutdown comes from a part that is? What if an exchange point for parts that are not shutdown is shutdown. And spare me the tinfoil hat stuff--tinfoil hats have not worked for a year or more. -- Somebody should have said: A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

I'll bet that is a political statement, against list rules. Larry is currently making up a really high percentage of list traffic and this is beginning to annoy.

Interesting plan. I've got a Gateway computer down stairs that can write a 3.5 inch floppy and a Micron tower (running Windows 2000 the last time it was powered up) that can write 5 inch floppies. When I left active administration in 2003, out of 30 or so machines running BIND I can't recall one that has a floppy drive of any sort. > It's not that rough, these days, to install some monitoring to make sure > that your zones are up to date on the secondaries and that they resolve > names correctly; some operators used to even get really super-freakazoid > and do zone transfers back to allow verification.

"monitor" implies connectivity. The OP was about the possibility that the government would deny you connectivity. Please try to stay n topic. -- Somebody should have said: A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

I meant to ask in my original posting: http://volokh.com/2010/06/13/32843/ What happens when the US shuts down part of its part? Depends on what part it shut down, of course. But what are the available boundaries for the parts in question? If we don't know what will be ordered shutdown and what the boundaries of the shutdown area will be are there engineering concerns that can not be foreseen and economically provided-for? -- Somebody should have said: A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
