 WANView 

 
  Objective:
    Implement, connected to the CLIENT's network structure, a solution for monitoring traffic and WAN circuits status of the said network. This solution includes equipment, software and services, all of them supplied by TMP Consultoria.
 
  Standard Facilities:
  * User interface totally made by standard WWW browsers(Netscape, Explorer or other), allowing system usage from any computer in the client's internal network.
 
  *Acess controlled by username and password, with different acess levels for each user.

  * Overall view of the whole WAN network of the client in a single screen, through a dynamic link and knot graphic, where the links change their color according to traffic variation and each circuit's state, and that, through mouse selection, allow the checking of detailed statistics per circuit(see items below);

  * On-line graphic usage report which may be consulted at any time and that will show "usage tax X time" graphics along the current day, week, month, or year. These graphics will show the average usage, the usage peaks and valleys.

  * On-line, textual usage report, which may be consulted anytime and which will list the "usage tax" of a determined WAN network link at any given time; Click here to know more about this report.
 
  * On-line disponibility report which may consulted at any time and which will list all the interruptions that happened at any given time on a determined WAN network link; Click here to know more about this report.
 
  * Warning through pager of any alteration in the circuits status.
 
  *The monitoration will be done at the Client's environment, and the reports/graphics will be available on-line at all times for the Client.
 
  Optional Facilities:
  * "Top-talkers" report, also available on-line, detailing at any given moment the "N" biggest users of each channel along the current day, week, month and year. The value of "N" will be defined on the system implementation. If the CLIENT wishes, an alarm may be installed which will ring in case there is usage above a certain established limit.

   On the above scren's example, it is visible that the 13.228.75.200, 13.228.75.150 and 13.228.75.100 hosts are responsible for using 76.1% of the analysed channel.
 
  *Protocol report, also on-line, which details at any moment the percentual usage of each channel per protocol(IP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, HTTP, NETBIOS, DNS and others) along the current day, week, month, and year. The protocol list to be considered will be defined on system implementation.

  On the example, we see that 97,9% of this channel's usage is done by TCP protocols which are not registered as "authorized" or "work" protocols. This information, along with the Top Talkers report, helps locating the user of said channel and what kind traffic edxists on that circuit.
 
  Prerequisites:
  * Access to the CLIENT's personnel to finish possible doubts regarding network topology and ???? configuration.
 
  * Access to a "read-only community" configured on the ????, for capturing the information monitored through SNMP MIB II and, for optional facilities 1) e 2), same for RMON2. If the client does not have RMON2 on his ????, TMP has developed a specific "probe" that makes capturing the necessary information possible.
 
  * Infraestructure on the CLIENT's for connecting the monitoring equipment: 1 energy point(110VAC, 200W), estabilized and protected by no-break, 1 ethernet point, refrigerated environment with controled access.
