Abstract
NIC collected network statistics are captured by agent devices resident on Host machines of a network. A probe (software or hardware) retrieves the collected statistics from one or more monitored hosts (each host on the network, for example) and places them in RMON MIB and RMON extension MIB formats. The MIB data is retrieved by queries from a data correlation device that then correlates the queried data into useful statistics regarding network traffic. The useful statistics include network traffic in bytes per second for each application, application protocol, hosts, user logon id, etc. for each of the monitored hosts. Different views including a host to host matrix view are provided in a split window display.
