- Fremont is a research prototype for discovering key network
- characteristics, such as hosts, gateways, and topology. Fremont uses an
- extensible set of Explorer Modules to discover information, based on a
- variety of different protocols and information sources, rather than a
- single network management protocol. This approach allows more complete
- and timely information to be discovered than, for example, using only
- one protocol, even one as capable as the Simple Network Management
- Protocol. The discovered information is time-stamped and recorded in a
- database (the Journal Server). The contents of this database are
- cross-correlated to form an increasingly complete network picture, to
- direct further discovery, and to highlight inconsistent information.
-
- The fremont login at bruno.cs.colorado.edu has been set up to provide
- two simple demos of Fremont, based on information discovered from the
- University of Colorado network. These demos show only some of Fremont's
- capabilities.
-
- Since the demos require logins (and, in the case of the X demo, X traffic)
- across the Internet, they exhibit poorer performance than you would get by
- just running a Fremont client locally and connecting to our Journal Server.
- If you have a SparcStation, a statically-linked X-windows executable is
- available by anonymous FTP from ftp.cs.colorado.edu, in
- pub/cs/distribs/fremont/xjsv.Z. Don't forget to set "type image" before
- retrieving this file. You can run this executable by doing
- uncompress xjsv.Z
- chmod +x xjsv
- xjsv -j bruno.cs.colorado.edu
-
- The Fremont source code is available by anonymous FTP, in
- pub/cs/distribs/fremont.
-
- If you are interested in learning more about Fremont, a paper describing
- its methodology is available by anonymous FTP from ftp.cs.colorado.edu,
- in pub/cs/techreports/schwartz/PostScript/Fremont.ps.Z (compressed
- PostScript) or pub/cs/techreports/schwartz/ASCII/Fremont.txt.Z
- (compressed ASCII). This paper is also included in the source code
- distribution.
