Developing the Web 100 Based Network Diagnostic Tool ( NDT ) By Richard

Finding and fixing a network performance or configuration problem is a difficult and complex task. It requires time, energy, and expertise to track down problems and it is difficult for users to know whom to contact when the source and destination computers are located in different administrative domains. This paper describes a novel new way of performing the basic diagnostic function needed to identify that a problem exists and if that problem is in the source computer, the destination computer, or the network infrastructure. Once a problem is identified, users will have detailed data that can be used by their network administrator to find a solution.
