Design and implementation of a diagnostic tool for Ethernet networks

Abstract

This paper describes the tools developed by the authors for analyzing the topology of Ethernet networks, collecting, accumulating and displaying statistics of their work. Approaches for assessing the quality of network devices operation based on statistics are described. The developed software is used to analyze the operation of Ethernet networks in high-performance computing systems designed to solve numerical simulation problems. This work may be useful to specialists involved in the development and operation of Ethernet networks in computing systems based on the Linux operating system.
