Abstract :
The paper presents the designing principles of a management infrastructure for monitoring the capabilities of different network interface cards (gigabit Ethernet, Endace), both for traffic generation and capturing at reception. This evaluation is useful to asses the goodness of captured traffic analysis and QoS performance measurements, using PC based platforms. The idea was to implement the communication of the management information between an administration console and a set of distributed SNMP-based software measurement agents for GNU/Linux platforms that enable to perform QoS measurement sessions
