Hi all -
The Merit Network Statistics Collection And Reporting Facility (NetSCARF)
Project will be hosting a free workshop in the afternoon on the day *before*
NANOG. We will provide an overview of the (1.x and October release 2.0)
technology (see agenda below), future release plans, and open the floor to
feedback and discussion about how you would like to see the product evolve.
The NetSCARF SCION software package is a public domain network statistics
collection and reporting package that uses SNMPv1 or SNMPv2u to collect
stats from network devices and reports the network performance on the web.
Release 2 is scheduled to be released early October and features automated
stats compression and an updated OpStats client and server.
For this first workshop, we have openings for the first fifty (50) that
register at http://www.merit.edu/~netscarf. If you get a chance, read the
Connexions NetSCARF article on our web page before the workshop. The second
workshop will be held in January or February 1997 and include a discussion
of the 3.0 release.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at wbn@merit.edu or
call at 313.936.2656.
Thanks,
Bill
