Description of Working Group:

     The NOC-Tools Working Group will develop a catalog to assist
     network managers in the selection and acquisition of diagnostic
     and analytic tools for TCP/IP Internets.


Goals and Milestones:


TBD           Identify tools available to assist network managers in
              debugging and maintaining their networks.
TBD           Publish a reference document listing what tools are
              available, what they do, and where they can be obtained.
TBD           Arrange for the central (or multi-point) archiving of
              these tools in order to increase their availability.
TBD           Establish procedures to ensure the ongoing maintenance of
              the reference and the archive, and identify an
              organization willing to do it.
TBD           Identify the need for new or improved tools as may become
              apparent during the compilation of the reference
              document.
