Summary

This chapter has covered two very important topics: network analysis and quality of service. It started with several tools for network analysis (NET-SNMP, MRTG, and IPTraf) that should play a very important role in network support and analysis. Network analysis provides a look into the network and helps define what the network performs and what it can likely perform in the future. Providing QoS is currently one of the most challenging aspects of networking requiring both analysis and an understanding of the QoS concepts covered here.
