Project poster

With networks being as complex and many-layered as they are, problems can exist in staggering varieties and walking through them blind provides no solution for future occurrences. NetJeeves is the beginnings of a network manager that brings disparate elements of network management together and provide users with a simple, but clear overview of their network state.

NetJeeves reduces clutter while highlighting the most relevant issues in a highly visual interface, providing information that can be used to diagnose issues that may not be solved by automated fixes. With NetJeeves, informa-tion about the network and connected devices are given at a high-level without becoming a black box for users, as may occur in other existing technologies, ensuring transparency of the network without overwhelming users.
