	abstract = {In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a
network monitoring analysis tool. The network resources
were configured to support SNMP under various operating
systems, thresholds definitions and events. The data were
collected by a network monitoring system and handled
according to the values of the variables or the event type. A
real- time report to a database was established via adaptive
scripts. A Network Node Manager (NNM) will inform an
external, remote database about the network status by
sending real time data containing alerts and events. The
whole tool is called Network Management Analysis Tool
(NMAT).},

	abstract = {In this paper we describe the architecture and design of a network-stressing tool developed to simulate and evaluate the HTTP requests and responses of hundreds of users. There are two major issues that have to be considered when designing and implementing such a simulation tool, the reliability evaluation and the user {\textquotedblleft}friendly{\textquotedblright} environment. In our application we use a mechanism exploiting Intranet technology to stress the tested network and confirm the performance, proper operation and delay issues. We have also implemented an easy interaction with the user considering the creation of the scenarios and the presentation of the simulation results, pointing out the problems and the network{\textquoteright}s status. Finally, we examined through a number of experiments using different simulation scenarios the behavior of the Intranet by load balancing the simulated users.},
