IEEE Communication Magazine, 38(5), 122-128.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/1377The National Laboratory for Applied Network Research is creating a network analysis infrastructure to support network research and engineering of high performance research networks. The NAI includes a passive monitoring project, an active monitoring project, and collection of network management and control data. Together these projects have deployed more than 120 monitors around the high-performance research networks in the United States. This article describes NAI and the projects using it. The article concludes with a discussion of the future plans for the infrastructure.application/pdfenThis article has been published in the journal: IEEE Communication Magazine. © Copyright IEEE 2008.monitoringnetwork managementprotocolsresearch initiativestelecommunication controltelecommunication management networks(TMN)Conference Contribution10.1109/35.841836
