Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a system for collecting and displaying statistical data for a plurality of local area networks (LANs). The data is collected in several remote nodes, each of which is attached to a local area network. The data is obtained by using a LAN driver that intercepts all records on the LAN. The records are sent to a collector process where statistics are accumulated into a shared memory area and then transferred to an archiver process in a management node. The archiver process writes the statistics to a history file while compressing older data to prevent the file from growing too large. The data is then displayed while allowing the user of the system to dynamically select the point in time of the data being displayed, the range of dates and times of the data being displayed as well as the resolution of the graphical screen display.
