Bandwidth Monitoring Tools

with Alert Management

LOO KAR CHUNG TP012661

Problem Statement

 Many program developed to take advantage

of high speed network today.

 More and more people use monitoring tools

to monitor the bandwidth usage.
Objective

 Provide end user a better bandwidth management tools.

 Provide a bandwidth monitoring tools with alert

management.
 Create user awareness on dangerous port.

Target User

 Home user
 Used to control housemates bandwidth usage

 Small Corporate user

 Control and monitor bandwidth usage of
employee.
Functionality
 Core
 Able to scan thru connected nodes in LAN network

 Enhance
 Create user awareness on dangerous port
 Predefined rules to allow user to block ports
 Predefines rules to allow user to block packet IP address

 Special
 Alert Management (SMS,email)
 Log
 Ping

Changes
Eliminate Added
Core
• Application and port monitoring • IP address scanning for the entire
network
• E-mail monitoring
Enhance
• Packet filter by application • Filtering by port and IP address in the
LAN network
Secondary Research
(Application Areas)
 Consumer Application based on SMS
 Chat application
 Smart messaging
 Download services
 Corporate Application based on SMS
 Remote monitoring
 Medical notification services
 Value-chain Application based on SMS
 SMS-based banking

 SMS is widely being used by people of all
ages to perform different level of service and
communication.

 Clients and employees complain about slow

response times of applications and websites.
 Bandwidth monitoring basically entails
tracking the bandwidth usage of leased lines
and network connections.
 Bandwidth monitoring software can also be
used to alert administrators whether there
are network load issues or breached
bandwidth thresholds. (Stefan Morschheuser,
2009)
 ARP Poisoning
Page 35
 System developed in web based environment
Page 40
 Java been chosen to developed this system
because of the API
 JPCAP API
 Java Mail
 jNetPcap

Secondary Research
(Questionnaire)
 Research shows that network uptime, speed,
and reliability is very important to both target
group

 Result of questionnaire shows that user

needs a system to manage and monitor the
bandwidth
Page 85
 Most of the target user use Window platform

 Questionnaire shows user are ready to accept

alert by SMS/E-Mail.
System Design

Implementation

 Netbeans 6.9.1 IDE

 SMS Gateway

 Ettercap

 Programming Language: Java

 Fake Packet

Testing

 Deployment test
 Unit test
 Functionality test
 Integration test
 Performance test
 User acceptance test
Critical Evaluation

 System can by both target user group

 Home user

 Small corporate user

Limitation

 Only can be run in window XP and window

Vista environment.
 Run on medium and small network

 Able to block 1 user in a time

 Only provide nodes IP address

Page 91
Future Enhancement

 Minimize the time need to run on large network

 Run on every window environment

 Better interface

 Monitor more than 1 IP

 Core function should provide more nodes

information

Conclusion

 The system developed had finally success to

fulfil the objective of the project.

 It will greatly help user to monitor and filter

bandwidth used within the LAN network.

 Good project management, research and

analysis skill had lead to successful
completion of the project.
