dc.description.abstractAs computer networks increase in size and expand geographically, the necessity to monitor them becomes increasingly important. Thus, new techniques and mechanisms for distributed network monitoring are needed to accommodate the above situation. The intent of this thesis is to develop a platform to support real time passive distributed network monitoring applications. The platform will use the open architecture concept for other application developers to add functionalities or extend existing functionalities. The platform also proposes three new concepts in real time passive network monitoring. The first is the 3-tier architecture to ensure a complete coverage of the distributed network as well as balancing the load among all distributed network monitoring elements. The second concept is the innovative buffering technique that is used to handle the high speed network traffic with minimal packet loss as well as minimizing the processing and network overhead. Finally, the third concept is the distributed passive data gathering with a central coordination server. Each element has intelligence built-in to pre-process the passive gathered data and reduce the bandwidth consumption between the central coordination server and the distributed monitoring elements. Finally, we implement a distributed real time network monitoring application GEnterprise) utilizing the RTDNM platform. We deploy the implemented application into an enterprise network (Nav6). However, this implementation proves the RTDNM platform ability to allow other applications to extend the platform cores through its available APls and extension points. The deployment of the implemented application further proves the ability of the RTDNM platform based application to be integrated into heterogeneous network environments.en_US
