The best GPL tool that I've come across in a long while, as far as =
network discovery goes, would have to be the discovery engine inside =
Netdisco (http://www.netdisco.org). This tool is fairly Cisco-centric, =
but Max has put a lot of work into a tool for folks who are tired of =
CiscoWorks not working.

Subject: Network discovery tools
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good shareware or demo =
network discovery tool. I was hoping to find something that will show =
vendor type during node discovery. I came across a tool called network =
ferret that did the job, but nothing downloadable.
I'm hoping to do some more work on the effects of network diversity, and =
wanted to do testing on real world networks. I figured starting of with =
GMU would get us going, but if anyone knows of any available datasets =
with node-link topology and vendor type it would be great to play with =
them.
thanks,
sean
