ASQ Network Node Observation using EXPAND

In this interactive computer era the networked applications need special care for its performance and behavior. It is increasingly becoming important to manage network resources like servers, switches, routers and other network end device. An important part of the management task is to monitoring network behavior. ASQ Network Node Observer is a powerful software which enables us to quickly detect, diagnose and resolves a network’s performance failure and outages. It is powerful and affordable software to get reliable information on availability of network as well as fault in the network. The software provides services by providing accuracy in identification of network as well as application in less time. The project implements deep packet inspection mechanism to get the availability of the network. The software is using the network mechanisms and network protocols. The protocols include major protocols like ICMP, IP, and HTTP etc. for network inspection.ASQ Network Node Observer will overcome the difficulties by identifying and resolving the problems in availability and performance problems arising in a network with low cost, high performance and can be customizable according to their client needs. This project is carried out using Java as front end and SQL Server as back end. The paper presents our initial experimental results and conclusions on the above experiment carried out in our test bed.
