| Abstract | Raw packets that pass the Proxy Sever or Bastion Host contain information about the incoming and outgoing traffic of network users. The information includes kinds of traffic (e.g. HTTP, FTP, SMTP), source and destination IP address, traffic level by traffic type and users (based on IP addresses). The raw packets are collected and analyzed by network monitoring tools to support network management. Currently, there are several such software tools available, but they usually collect real time network data only, so network managers cannot get the network data from the past in order to analyze long-term network usage. Also many of these tools do not provide a user-friendly web interface. Thus, they cannot be used to monitor the network from the Internet or intranets. This makes them very inconvenient for network managers. This thesis develops an engine that captures raw packets from a network and stores them into a database for long-term network traffic analysis. A web interface shows network usage in a user-friendly presentation to network managers. This tool is limited to monitoring a local subnet with unicast IP traffic and Ethernet topology. |
