Monitoring of High Availabitility Enterprise Networks

Abstract

In my thesis I am presenting an enterprise class network of a fictional company that implements multiple ISO OSI layer 2 and 3 redundancy protocols for higher availability. There are two sites, one of them is the central office and the other is a dedicated site, hosting servers. While the employees are trying to access the company's intranet website hosted on the Web-Server in the server farm, I am generating artificial link-level errors, thereby I am able to analyze the convergence of a network using cross-layer evaluation technique.
