There are commercial network monitoring products out there that are specifically designed for ease of use and automation of monitoring tasks like NetCrunch. To do a cost-benefit analysis you'd need to determine what your sysadmin(s) are spending their time on day-to-day, how much of their time, and which of those functions can be automated or otherwise shortened by commercial software.
1. Network externality is the benefit we get from a single consumer and when it gets to the greater values it makes us, meaning the firm, bigger so the bigger the firm, the bigger the barriers to entry because there will be a firm which does the same job and good at what it does.
Network externalities are changes in the benefit, or surplus, that an agent derives from a good when the number of other agents consuming the same kind of good changes. They lead to growth when a good or product becomes increasingly valuable since there will be greater use for it.
Network utility refers to the effectiveness and efficiency of a network in delivering services and resources to users. It encompasses various metrics, including bandwidth, latency, and reliability, which determine how well the network meets user demands and expectations. High network utility implies that resources are utilized optimally, ensuring seamless communication and data transfer. Ultimately, it reflects the overall performance and user satisfaction within a networked environment.
ECN Stands for Electronic Communication Network, which is a financial protocol used to relay buy/sell information to the participants in the network.

Integrated network management systems are made up of network monitoring and network analysis tools.
A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) for a network monitoring system typically includes processes such as data collection, analysis, and reporting. The system gathers data from network devices, which flows into the monitoring system (process), where it is analyzed for performance and alerts. The results are then outputted as reports or alerts to users or administrators. External entities may include network devices, users, and external monitoring tools, all interacting with the central monitoring system.
Sort of. Remote infrastructure monitoring would fall under network monitoring. Network monitoring in general focuses on the monitoring of your network infrastructure: things like switches, routers, etc. Remote just means your monitoring it from outside the network, and is a feature available in many solutions.
International Network for Social Network Analysis was created in 1977.
Network monitoring is the action of examining what's going across a network (what data is being transmitted). You monitor a network mainly for troubleshooting (network and upper layers, e.g. an application) and for carrying out flow analysis studies (e.g. to help find a bottleneck or correctly size future equipment.
The purpose of network performance monitoring is to allow network administrators to create the best operating condition by reporting on the network activity and locating where the network is not operating to it's full potential. Network Performance Monitoring can find faulty routers and switches as well as identifying networks that are hogging the bandwidth.
In IT networking, a mod-tap refers to a configuration that allows for both active and passive monitoring of network traffic. It typically involves a device that splits the signal from a network port, enabling one output to connect to the regular network while sending a copy of the traffic to a monitoring system. This setup is commonly used for security and performance analysis without disrupting the flow of data. Mod-taps are especially useful in environments where real-time traffic analysis is required.
Network monitoring software helps a computer run smoothly by monitoring the computer's network and sending alerts to warn that there is a problem long before system failure occurs.
There are many types of network analysis. For the study of electronics there are many texts and online resources available. Network analysis is a part of the engineering of electronic circuits. General network analysis is found in many fields.
A cloning port is a specialized endpoint on a switch that allows network administrators to replicate or copy network traffic from one port to another. This is often used for troubleshooting, network monitoring, or security analysis purposes. By using a cloning port, administrators can monitor and analyze data without disrupting the flow of traffic on the network.
