     catalog to assist network managers in the selection and
     acquisition of diagnostic and analytic tools for TCP/IP
     Internets.

         tools are available, what they do, and where they can be
         obtained.

         managers in debugging and maintaining their networks that
         were inadvertently omitted in previous NOCTools catalog.
       o Identify additional new or improved tools that have become
         apparent since the last the compilation of the reference
         document.
       o Arrange for the central (or multi-point) archiving of
         these tools in order to increase their availability.
       o Establish procedures to ensure the ongoing maintenance of
         the reference and the archive, and identify an
